Oven Poached Salmon Recipes

OVEN-POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Split salmon lengthwise, and lay one half on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Split the spring onions lengthwise. Place the onions, tarragon and parsley on the salmon. Top with other half of the fish.
• Slice lemon thinly and lay slices over top of salmon. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with white wine. Wrap foil loosely around the salmon, sealing the package tightly by folding over several times; this prevents steam from escaping.
• Place salmon packet on a cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, but do not open packet until ready to serve or to use.

OVEN POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a grater or microplane, zest the lemon and save it, then juice the lemon. In a large, rimmed baking sheet, carefully mix the first four ingredients, then dip both sides of the salmon thoroughly in the mixed liquid. Place the side of salmon, that previously had the skin attached to it, face down in the baking sheet. Add remaining seasonings, salt, zest and herbs. Bake salmon for about 8-10 minutes. Check for doneness, according to your preferences. Remove the baking sheet carefully and avoid spilling the hot liquid. Portion and serve.

OVEN-POACHED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Coat a 9-inch glass pie pan or an 8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place salmon, skin-side (or skinned-side) down, in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with wine. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with shallots. Cover with foil and bake until opaque in the center and starting to flake, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on thickness.
• When the salmon is ready, transfer to dinner plates. Spoon any liquid remaining in the pan over the salmon and serve with lemon wedges.

OVEN-POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325*. Lightly oil a glass or ceramic baking dish. Pat the salmon dry, place in the prepared dish ( being careful that the fillets do not touch each other) and season lightly with salt.
• Place 1 sprig of dill on top of each fillet. Place the leek and celery slices and the bay leaf bits between the salmon fillets and pour the wine over the top.
• Cover the dish tightly. Roast (or oven poach) the salmon until cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Transfer the dish to a wire rack, carefully unwrap the dish and set aside to cool slightly.
