Poached Salmon With Snow Peas Recipes

POACHED SALMON WITH CREAMY PICCATA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place salmon in a large skillet. Add 1/2 cup wine and enough water to just cover the salmon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, turn the salmon over, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and capers; cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. To serve, top the salmon with the sauce and garnish with dill.

SALMON AND SNOW PEA STIR FRY

Steps:

• Cut salmon into 1 1/2 inch cubes and place in a resealable plastic bag.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, juice, garlic and sesame oil; pour half the marinade into the plastic bag with salmon.
• Marinate the fish for 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Coat a nonstick frying pan or wok with nonstick spray.
• Remove salmon from bag; discard leftover marinade.
• Stir-fry salmon over medium-high heat, about five minutes. Turn salmon over gently so that all sides cook evenly. Be very careful with the salmon pieces so they stay intact - this was the hardest part for me; I didn't realize I'm quite the aggressive mad-woman stir-fryer!
• Remove salmon from wok and add sliced onion. Stir-fry onion until brown, about five minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry until they turn bright green, about three minutes.
• Return salmon to pan and pour reserved marinade over fish and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
• Serve with 1/2 cup of brown rice for each plate, if desired.

POACHED SALMON WITH ENGLISH PEAS

Steps:

• In a wide, deep pot or Dutch oven, add water to the depth of a couple of inches and bring to a gentle simmer.If you are cutting portions from a whole salmon fillet, cut two large pieces from the center of the fillet. To the poaching water, add the wine and a generous pinch of salt. Gently lower the fish, skin side down, into the poaching liquid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently poach the fish until it is just cooked through or barely opaque in the center, 8 to 12 minutes.
• While the salmon is poaching, prepare the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. Cut the morels in half or quarters, depending on the size of the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the morels. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the peas and toss to coat in the butter mixture. Add 1/2 cup of the salmon poaching liquid, and simmer until the peas begin to soften and the liquid evaporates, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, finely chop the chives and pick the chive blossoms for the garnishing of the dish.Add the cream and gently simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Check the doneness of the salmon by gently inserting a paring knife into the thickest part of the fillet. If the knife blade is slightly warm to the touch, remove the fillets from the poaching liquid with a fish spatula.Carefully peel off and discard the skin.
• Serve the salmon with the peas and cream spooned on top. Garnish with sea salt, chives, and chive blossoms, if you like.
