Steps:
- Half fill the pan with measured salted water and bring to the boil. Put in the piece of fish, just covering with water, and bring back to the boil. Simmer gently for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, allow the fish to sit in the water. Serve within 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the Irish Butter Sauce. Put the egg yolks into a heavy bottomed stainless steel saucepan on a very low heat. Add the cold water and whisk thoroughly. Add the butter bit by bit, whisking all the time. As soon as one piece melts, add the next. The mixture will gradually thicken, but if it shows signs of becoming too thick or 'scrambling' slightly, remove from the heat immediately and add a little cold water if necessary. Do not leave the pan or stop whisking until the sauce is made. Finally add the lemon juice to taste. Pour into a bowl and keep warm over hot, but not boiling, water.
- To serve, lift the cooked salmon carefully from the poaching liquid. Peel off the skin gently. Garnish with sprigs of parsley or watercress. Serve with Irish Butter Sauce.

Grilled salmon is easy and quick. You can do it indoors in the oven, on your countertop grill, or out on the patio. Irish butter is made with Irish whiskey. I chose to use lemon juice instead. I got this from preparedpantry.com.

Steps:
- Generously salt and pepper salmon fillets. Lightly grease grill with cooking spray or oil. Place the egg yolks in a saucepan. Cut the butter into pieces and add to the saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat while whisking the melted butter and egg yolks together. Continue whisking until the mixture turns lemony-colored and thick. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Place in a container and refrigerate until firm or serve immediately as a sauce. Grill the salmon about 5 minutes on each side or until done. Spoon sauce over fish and serve, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is firm and has a bright color. Avoid farmed salmon, which is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is opaque in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Make sure the butter is cold. Cold butter will help to prevent the sauce from separating. If you don't have cold butter, you can chill it in the freezer for a few minutes before using.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to dry out.
Conclusion:
This recipe for salmon with Irish lemon butter is a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. The lemon butter sauce is flavorful and pairs perfectly with the delicate taste of the salmon. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
