Poached Salmon

[onyxmoon]

I posted this on my blog today and thought to share it here:



POACHED SALMON
Season fresh salmon fillet with a pinch of sea salt

In a deep, wide pan/Dutch oven add:
2 c. white wine
2 c. water
1 coarsely chopped shallot (alt: onion)
garlic (and lots of it)
chopped carrots (alt: 5-10 baby carrots)
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
5-10 leaves of fresh sage
pinch of sea salt
Optional: slice or two of lemon, fresh dill

Bring all of this to a nice boil, reduce heat to simmer and add your salmon fillets, fish side facing up.

Cover pan, simmer until salmon is cooked through - about 5-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.

Once done, plate up and sprinkle fish with freshly diced chives. You can eat the carrots, too ;)

In case you don't like to eat your salmon plain:

DILL & CHIVE SAUCE
2 TBS plain yogurt (alt: sour cream)
diced fresh chives
sprinkling of dill (I use dried)
squeeze of lemon juice

Mix it all up and use as a dipping sauce or spread on salmon directly.
