Poached Salmon Recipe

Poaching salmon may sound difficult or gourmet, but this poached salmon recipe is so easy to make and so delicious you will want to make it over and over.

I have used salmon fillets here, but it works equally well with salmon steaks.

Just watch your poaching time, as the steaks are can be thicker or thinner than fillets and will require an adjustment to the cooking time.

Poaching liquid (or Court Bouillon):
1 medium onion, sliced
1 large carrot, sliced
1 lemon, sliced

Add the onion, carrots and lemon slices to a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Gently add the fillets. Cook fillets for 7 or 8 minutes.

Serve.

Serving Tips

• A bit more lemon juice drizzled over the fillets tastes great.
• Add one or two lemon slices to the top of the fillet before serving for great presentation.
