Dads Poached Salmon With Cucumber Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For sauce, in a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Refrigerate until serving. Broil salmon 4-6 in. from the heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with cucumber sauce.

Steps:

• Make a Court-Bouillon: Pour 6 quarts cold water into a large stockpot. Add carrots, celery, leek, vinegar, lemon, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, and cook 30 minutes. Pour into a fish poacher, and set aside until lukewarm, about 45 minutes.
• Set fish poacher on stove over two burners. Lower rack so it rests on vegetables; place salmon on rack (remove tail if needed). Add enough water to cover.
• Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Poach salmon 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest point registers 130 degrees. Remove poacher from heat; let cool until no longer steaming, about 1 hour. Refrigerate salmon in court-bouillon overnight.
• Lift salmon on rack from the court-bouillon, and set over a large pan or sink; let drain 30 minutes. Transfer salmon to a clean work surface. Cut through skin near head, and pull skin off top side of fish. Use the back of a knife to scrape off any brown flesh from surface. Using tweezers, pull out bones along back. Slide salmon onto a serving platter. Salmon can be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap, up to 4 hours before serving.
• To serve, cut cucumber lengthwise into very thin strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler. Arrange strips diagonally across salmon, spacing 1 inch apart. Garnish with remaining cucumber, cress, and chives. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• For the salmon: Combine the wine, water, bouillon, peppercorns, dillweed, bay leaves, celery, and lemon in a skillet. Bring to a boil; cover.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the salmon to the mixture in the skillet and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
• To prepare Cucumber-Dill Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the cucumber, sour cream, yogurt, dill, and mustard.
• To serve: place the fillets on individual serving plates. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fillets. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if using.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring water to a low simmer. Add salmon fillets and simmer until opaque throughout, about 5 minutes. Peel, seed, and thinly slice cucumber, then stir in yogurt and olive oil. Season and serve alongside salmon; drizzle with additional oil, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C or 180C fan forced.
• Place salmon in a baking dish and pour over stock and season, cover with foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes o until just cooked through.
• Remove from oven and cool salmon in stock for 10 minutes.
• Remove the salmon from the stock.
• Add sour cream, cucumber, wine and tarragon to stock and whisk to combine, season and transfer to a jug.
• Meanwhile steam potato over a saucepan of simmering water for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
• Place salmon and potato on plates and top salmon with cucumber sauce and tarragon leaves and drizzle oil over potatoes and season and serve.
