Cold Poached Salmon With Herb Mayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except salmon in medium saucepan. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Carefully place salmon, skin side down, in liquid. The liquid should completely cover the fish. Poach salmon until done, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. When salmon is cooked, carefully remove it from the poaching liquid and let cool about 30 minutes. Serve chilled with Herb Mayonnaise.
• In food processor, combine all ingredients until smooth, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Tie the peppercorns and dry herbs together in a little bundle of cheese cloth. Combine the liquids in a large pot or skillet. Bring to a boil. Add the vegetables and the herb bundle to the court bouillon ingredients, bring to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce to a simmer and add the salmon filets. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the salmon to cool in the bouillon. When completely cold, remove the salmon from the bouillon. Drain on paper towels to dry completely. Cover the fish with plastic wrap, and place in a refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until ready to serve. Serve with herb mayonnaise or vinaigrette.;

Steps:

• For salmon:
• Combine first 5 ingredients in deep skillet. Simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add salmon, cover and simmer until just cooked through, about 9 minutes per inch of thickness. Transfer salmon to plate, using 2 spatulas as aid. Reserve liquid in skillet. Cool salmon. Cover and chill until cold. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
• For Mayonnaise:
• Boil salmon poaching liquid in skillet until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon peel, chives and parsley in medium bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon poaching liquid. Season to taste with pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Line platter with lettuce. Top with salmon. Make cut in each lemon slice from center to edge. Twist lemon slices and place atop salmon. Garnish with lemon wedges and tomatoes and serve with 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.

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.
