Poached Salmon With Mustard Sauce

Poaching is so fast and simple you'll want to have side dishes ready to finish before dipping the salmon into the bubbling water.

Type: Fish
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons 30mlNonfat plain yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon 15mlMayonnaise
1 teaspoon 5mlDijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlMinced or grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlHoney or sugar
1 1/2 lbs 681g / 24ozSalmon fillet
  Minced fresh chives or parsley - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Seafood Alternatives: swordfish, trout fillets, cod, orange roughy

In a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, ginger and honey. Set aside while the fish cooks.

Rinse the salmon in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into serving-size pieces. Lay the fish in a single layer in a pan at least 2 inches deep. Add cold water to just cover fish. Lift out the fish and bring the water to a boil.

Return the fish to the pan and reduce the heat to keep water just barely simmering (a bubble every 5 to 10 seconds). Simmer until the fish is just slightly translucent in the center, about 8 minutes for fish 1 inch thick.

Take the fish from the pan, let drain and pat dry gently with paper towels. Set the fish on plates and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with minced chives or parsley.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
