Lemongrass And Citrus Poached Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine chicken stock, orange juice, grapefruit juice, white wine, onion, carrots, kaffir lime leaves, garlic and lemon grass.
• Season with salt and white pepper.
• Bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes.This is to reduce so the liquid has more flavor and to soften the veggies.
• Reduce heat to a very low simmer.
• Place the salmon (skin side down) in the poaching liquid until flaky and tender, about 5-10 minutes.
• Serve as is garnished with fruit. Or chill place on a bed of greens garnished with fruit slices.

Steps:

• To make the salmon: Combine all ingredients except the salmon in a medium skillet or saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides, add to simmering liquid, and cover. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until just done.
• To make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil and citrus juices, add the dill, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Toss the watercress with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the watercress on a large platter and place the salmon in the center. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette and garnish with dill.

Steps:

• Remove skin from salmon, then cut into desired portions.
• In a large pot, combine chicken stock, orange juice, white wine, onion, garlic and lemon grass. Season with salt and white pepper. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a low simmer. Place the salmon in the poaching liquid until flaky and tender, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Pea Puree -- In a medium sauce pan add 1/4 cup water, peas, mint, garlic and butter and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Transfer to the blender and puree until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. This can easily be made earlier that day. Just reheat in the microwave or on the stove before serving. It only takes a few minutes.
• Cucumber Lemon Sauce -- Again, make this ahead and just refrigerate. Peel the cucumbers and then grate them using the larger holes of your grater. You could also use a food processor or other appliance if you have one. Once grated, I place the cucumber in a collander or strainer and sprinkle with a little salt. Let it set about 15-20 minutes. The salt will pull out some of the moisture so the sauce does not become to watery.
• Once the cucumber has set and drained a bit, add it to a medium size bowl. Then add the mayonnaise, sour cream, pepper, grated onion, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix well and chill. Now since you only needed a little lemon zest and juice, slice up the other half of the lemon in 4 slices for a garnish over the fish.
• Salmon -- Takes just 10-12 minutes. In a large pan add the water, wine, peppercorns, mint, lemon juice, cut up lemon, onion and salt. Bring to a medium - high simmer and add the salmon skin side down, top with a lemon slice, cover and simmer for 5 minutes and turn the heat off and keep the salmon in the liquid until the salmon is tender but not over cooked. It should take another 3-5 minutes. It should flake easily but still a little pink and be moist.
• Serve -- I like to reheat the peas for just a couple of minutes, and put a small bed on each plate, about 1 cup per serving. Top with the salmon fillet, the lemon slice, a little salt and pepper to taste, and then a little of the cucumber lemon sauce.
• It is a nice easy, healthy dish which every now and then is a nice change to all those rich holiday foods. Make some steamed new potatoes and some grilled vegetables or broiled for a very nice light dinner. Even my best friend who is a meat and potatoes guy love this dish.

Steps:

• In a large wide saucepan into which a steamer will fit, combine chicken stock and 6 cups water. Place over high heat to bring to a boil. When water boils, add lemon grass, scallion, ginger, lime juice and fish sauce, and reduce heat to low.
