Creamy Poached Salmon
4 salmon fillets. 1 vegetable bouillon, dissolved in one cup water. 1 / 2 cup white wine. 1 lemon, sliced + 1 tbsp lemon juice. 1 clove garlic, sliced. 3 sprigs parsley. 2 small sprigs celery. 125 gm button mushrooms, canned, sliced. 1 / 4 cup cream. Salt + pepper + basil
Combine stock, wine, lemon, parsley, celery and garlic in a large pan. Bring to the boil and season. Reduce heat to a slow simmer and ad the salmon. Cook, covered for 5 to 10 minutes, according to fillet thickness until fish flakes when tested with a fork. It is always better to leave the fish slightly under cooked in the center. Remove fish to a plate. Keep warm. Strain stock. Return to the same pan. Boil until reduced by half. Add mushrooms and simmer for two minutes. Blend in cream, but do not boil. Re-season to taste. Serve salmon with sauce, boiled potatoes and sauteed asparagus. |
