Poached Salmon With Green Goddess Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet, combine onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and dry white wine. Add enough water to come 1 1/2 inches up side of skillet.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper; place in skillet. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand until fillets are opaque, 8 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or chilled with Green Goddess Dressing

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, combine the onion, carrot, celery, peppercorns, bay leaves, and wine. Add enough water to come 1 1/2 inches up side of skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and place in skillet. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand until fillets are opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled with dressing.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine the oil, scallions and garlic in a small unheated skillet. Turn the heat to low and cook undisturbed until the mixture begins to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. Transfer the mixture to a small food processor. Add the parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, mayonnaise, tarragon, dill and anchovy and pulse to mix, then blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the fish all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the dill and lemon slices to a large skillet with high sides. Pour in the wine and 1 cup water, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and place the fish on top of the lemon and dill. Cover and poach until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily when lightly pressed with a fork at its thickest part, depending on the thickness of the fish, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Just before serving, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pat the salmon skins dry with a clean towel, then add to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning with tongs, until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. (The skin will crisp up further as it cools.) Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce on 4 plates. Top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish each with a salmon skin "chip" and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, chives, tarragon, vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the sauce is pale green. Scrape the sauce into a bowl.
• Coarsely grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater onto a paper-towel-lined-plate; pat dry. Mix the cucumber into the tzatziki. Add salt and pepper to taste. The tzatziki can be made 4 hours ahead, covered and chilled, and stirred before serving.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Cook the salmon, skinned-side-up, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish using a fish spatula and cook for 2 minutes for medium doneness.
• Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with the tzatziki. To serve chilled, cool, cover, and chill up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high with the rack about 6 inches from the broiler. On a sheet pan lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out in an even layer. Broil until crispy and brown and just getting tender, about 10 minutes, turning with a spatula halfway through.
• Meanwhile, rub the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on both sides of the fish and season generously with salt and pepper. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, move the potatoes to the edges and nestle the fish between them, skin-side up. Broil until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. With a large spatula, flip the fish and continue to broil until the fish flakes easily but the center is still pink and glossy, 3 to 5 minutes. (If the potatoes are done after cooking the fish on the first side, pull them from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. If not, leave them until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.)
• While the fish cooks, combine the parsley, mixed herbs, anchovy, garlic, lemon zest, yogurt and mayonnaise in a blender and purée until thick and uniformly green. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Remove the fish and potatoes from the oven. Scrape the potatoes into a large bowl and toss with the snap peas and cucumbers; squeeze half the lemon over the top, season with salt and pepper and toss again. Cut the remaining lemon half into 4 wedges.
• Transfer the fish and vegetables to a platter and serve the dressing on the side; or divide the fish and vegetables among four plates and dollop with dressing. Sprinkle with dill and serve with lemon wedges.
