Poached Salmon Spinach And Potato Salad Recipes

POACHED SALMON, SPINACH, AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Combine potatoes and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a straight-sided skillet; add enough water to cover. Boil until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Generously season fish with kosher salt and pepper. Gently lower into skillet, skin-side down, adding more water if fish is not fully submerged. Return to a boil; then remove from heat, cover, and let stand until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes (depending on thickness of fillet). Transfer to a plate, skin-side up; cover to keep warm.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in shallot, Dijon, and vinegar (mixture will foam and splatter). Season generously with kosher salt and pepper; cover to keep warm.
• Halve potatoes and toss with spinach, mint, and two-thirds of vinaigrette; divide evenly among 4 plates. Remove skin from fish; drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Flake into several pieces, divide among salads, and serve, sprinkled with flaky salt.

SPINACH SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water. Heat over medium heat just until bubbles appear on bottom; stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar.
• Break one egg into a cup; dip cup in water 20 seconds, then release egg. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are just firm, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels; trim edges with a knife.
• In a medium saucepan, cook bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove, and drain on paper towels. To the same pan, add shallot, and cook in bacon fat until soft, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup vinegar; boil over high heat until reduced to 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, toss spinach with bacon and hot vinaigrette. Divide among plates; top each with a poached egg.
