Poached Salmon with Mustard-Dill Sauce

Spread the love
 

To poach salmon, boil enough water to cover fish in a pan (I use a fish poacher but you could also use a large, wide, deep skillet that has a cover), along with about a cup of white wine, some salt and pepper.  Immerse the fish in it and cook for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.  So a salmon fillet that is about 1 1/2 inches thick in the middle would cook for about 15 minutes.  Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a sharp knife or fork into the middle.  Do not overcook!  Especially if you have a nice piece of Wild Alaskan Salmon, which is high on the chart of sustainability!  Spoon this mustard dill sauce over the fish on the plate.  I used dried dill, but if you have fresh dill this dish will taste even better.  Put a whole bunch in after chopping it!  Maybe a half cup of fresh dill would be the right amount.

Mustard-Dill Sauce for Salmon
¼ cup Dijon mustard
3 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp dried dill
¼ cup olive oil
2 TBS sherry vinegar
3 tsp soy sauce
black pepper
Mix all together in a jar and shake.  Serve over poached salmon.
