COLD POACHED SALMON WITH GREEN CORIANDER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• If you do not have a fish poacher or large pan, cut the salmon into 2 or 3 pieces, and place in a pan large enough to hold the pieces without folding. Pour in the wine and stock, adding water if necessary to cover the fish. Place parchment or a double thickness of wax paper on top of the fish. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook according to the Canadian rule: measure the fish at its thickest point, and cook 8 minutes to the inch.
• Remove from the heat, uncover, and allow the fish to cool in the liquid. Remove the fish, discard the skin, then cover the fish with plastic wrap, and chill, overnight if desired. Serve with green coriander mayonnaise.

POACHED SALMON WITH CORIANDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cooking the fish.
• In a fish poacher or roaster large enough to lay salmon in pan, combine all ingredients except the fish. Add can of broth. Then add enough water to the pan to cover the thickness of the fish, then remove fish. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Place the fish in the pan and set your timer once the water returns to a simmer. Do not boil the fish-- it will break up. Allow 10 minutes for each 1 inch of thickness for frsh fish. Lift the salmon from the cooking liquid, and serve hot with coriander sauce. (reserve 1/2 cup poaching liquid for the sauce).
• Cooking the Sauce.
• Melt butter on medium heat in small saucepan, add flour, and cook until well mixed. Add reserved poaching liquid and stir until smooth. Gradually add the milk, and continue cooking till the sauce is thick. Add the salt, pepper, and coriander5, and stir to blend.
• TIPS.
• While fish poaches it is important to keep water just below a bubbling boil. A bubbling boil will cause the fish to break apart, and alter cooking time. The other important thing is to take the fish out of the cooking liquid as soon as fish is done. Do not let fish cool in pot; it will be over done and tough.
