Poached Salmon With Dill Recipes

Steps:

• To poach salmon, begin by placing the small bunch of dill inside cavity of the salmon, and put salmon in a fish poacher or a large roasting pan. (If necessary remove head to fit salmon in pan.) Cover with water, and add salt, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns and onion. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn salmon over, and cook 10 minutes. Turn off heat, and let salmon cool in water for about an hour.
• To make sauce, whisk together the mustard and brown sugar in a small pitcher. Add sour cream and vinegar, and whisk until smooth. Mix in the chopped dill, and season with salt. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
• To serve, remove salmon from poaching liquid and lay on large sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Remove skin from top, gently peeling it away, along with fins. Carefully lift top layer of salmon in one long fillet, removing it from backbone and transferring it to a large platter.
• Lift backbone off fish in one piece, and pick out any other visible bones. Turn fish over, and remove skin as before. Then place second fillet alongside the first on platter. Arrange leafy sprigs of dill between fillets, and drizzle sauce on top. Scatter lemon wedges around edges of plate. Pass pitcher of sauce separately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil and cumin over medium heat 1-2 minutes or until seeds are toasted, stirring occasionally. Stir in potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon turmeric. Cook, covered, on medium-low 10-12 minutes or until tender. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped dill; cook, uncovered, 1 minute. Remove from heat., Meanwhile, place salmon, skin side down, in a large skillet with high sides. Add dill sprigs, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining turmeric and enough water to cover salmon. Bring just to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, 7-9 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. , In a small bowl, mix yogurt, pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped dill and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve with salmon and potatoes.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, combine the water, wine, onion and celery. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add salmon and poach, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until fish is firm and flakes easily with a fork., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Serve with salmon.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend the plain yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and dill. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, place the salmon in the white wine and water. Adjust the amount of water as necessary to just cover the fish. Sprinkle with shallots. Cover the saucepan, and cook 10 to 12 minutes, until salmon is easily flaked with a fork. Drain, and serve with the yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• Pour water and wine into a large pot. Add 4 lemon slices, peppercorns, dill, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat until the liquid is calm with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. Allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Place 1 salmon fillet, skin-side down, into the pot. Cover and poach the salmon to desired degree of doneness, 12 minutes for pink interior to 17 minutes for fully-cooked. Remove the first fillet, place in a covered dish, and keep warm. Add the second fillet to the liquid and repeat the poaching procedure.
• Strain the poaching liquid into a smaller pot. Boil for 5 minutes. Stir in honey, salt, and pepper.
• Cut fillets into portions, top with remaining lemon rings, and pour sauce over top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Put the salmon on a large sheet of oiled extra-wide foil (this will stop it from sticking later). Put the onion, bay leaves and half the dill in the body cavity, spoon over the wine, season with salt and black pepper, then loosely bring the foil round the salmon and seal well to make a parcel. Lift onto a baking tray, then bake for 2 hrs. Take from the oven, then leave to cool for about 10 mins, still in its parcel.
• Meanwhile, whizz the flesh from the avocados (with a hand blender or in a food processor) with the mayo, lemon juice, zest and seasoning. Tip into a bowl. Chop the remaining dill, stir in with the cucumber, then transfer to a serving bowl. Chill for up to 3 hrs.
• Unwrap the salmon, then strip away the skin and fins. Personally, I don't take the skin from the bottom of the fish if I am serving the salmon warm, as you risk breaking the fish up as you turn it over. It is more robust when it is cold, so in this case remove the skin from both sides. You can leave the head on or take off at this stage. Carefully lift onto a platter, then garnish with watercress, cucumber, lemon wedges and dill, if using.
• To serve, remove the fish in chunky fillets. When all the fish has gone from the top fillet, remove the onion and herb flavouring, pull away the bones, then remove portions of the bottom fillet, leaving the skin behind. Eat with the avocado mayo, warm buttery new potatoes, and salads or green beans.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
• Remove any visible bones and cut off the head and tail (if it hasn't already been done for you) If using a poacher place the tray in the poacher, add 1/4 cup water and place your salmon in the tray skin side down.
• If you do not have a fish poacher (how many of us do?) you can use any oven safe pan large enough to hold your fish.
• Just crumple and crinkle a medium sized sheet of tin foil and place your fish on the foil skin side down.
• Add enough water to just come to the edge of the foil without spilling onto the fish (approx 1/3 cup).
• On top of the fish sprinkle all ingredients.
• Cover with lid or tin foil.
• Cook for 12-20 min's.
• For RARE fish, cook just until white liquid emerges from fish (this is the cooked fish oil).
• It will be pinky white on the outside and peachy pink inside.
• For more well done fish, cook until fish is a pinky white color all the way through.
• Place on a platter to serve.
• Leave onions, capers and dill on the fish.
• Slice lemons on the side for those who like fresh lemon juice.
• This salmon is great served with rice and steamed veggies or a salad.

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, onion, parsley, lemon, salt, and pepper in a large skillet. Bring to a boil. Add salmon to the skillet in a single layer. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove salmon from the skillet and keep warm.
• Strain cooking liquid and reserve 2 cups.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, dill, sugar, and salt. Cook until bubbling, about 1 minute. Add reserved cooking liquid. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce begins to thicken.
• Slowly stir 1/2 cup sauce into the egg yolks. Pour back into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not boil. Stir in lemon juice. Spoon sauce over salmon. Serve remaining sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Season salmon with seasoned salt.
• Combine chicken broth, wine, and ginger in a large saucepan and bring almost to a boil.
• Set aside about a teaspoon of the dill and green onion for the sauce. Add the rest to the pot; then add salmon. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until easily flaked with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes, or until desired doneness. Remove salmon from pot carefully using a slotted spoon or spatula and place on a plate.
