POACHED SALMON...WITH "SECRET SAUCE!"

POACHED SALMON

Although, I am “mostly” a Vegetarian, I do enjoy eating fish on occasion.  This recipe is fantastic!  The Salmon melts in your mouth.  Trick is to keep an eye on it when poaching.  If you let it go too long, it can easily overcook.

Check out the secret sauce at the end of the recipe!

Ingredients:

2-3 Salmon filets (skin removed)

½ cup of White Wine (Pinot, Chardonnay, etc.)

½ chopped onion

½ of a Lemon cut in 4 pieces

1 carrot – cut in strips

Salt, Pepper, Vindaloo Curry (or any other mild curry can be substituted), chopped parsley, garlic powder

In a deep fry pan, add the wine, let come to a simmer.  Add the onion, carrot, lemon.

Season the fish with the seasonings.  Place the fish on top of the vegetables and cover the pan.  Slowly simmer until the fish is not “soft in the center.”  (Test this by using a fork or spoon and lightly push down on the center of the fish).

When the fish is done (about 4-5 minutes, depending on how thick the fish is), remove. 

The fish is done!  You can serve it on top of a salad, by itself and enjoy!

Two secret sauces:

Sauce 1.

Take about ½ cup of yogurt; add some chopped parsley, honey, basil, garlic powder, capers. Mix well

Sauce 2.

After removing the fish, add some soy sauce, honey and 2 TB of Olive Oil to the pan.  Let it cook down until thick.  Yummy!  Serve over the fish!
