Cooking Recipe Quebec Poached Salmon
Recipe Ingredients
SAUCE VERTE (GREEN SAUCE
Directions
Spread the oil in a fry pan or baking dish. Place the salmon steaks
next to one another, but not overlapping. Add the lemon juice and
peel, peppercorns, salt, onion and just enough hot water to cover the
fish. Cover and poach on top of the stove (if using fry pan) over low
heat, for 10-12 minutes or in 325F oven (in baking dish) for the same
length of time or until the salmon flakes. Allow the fish to cool in
the liquid. Drain well and remove the skin. Arrange on platter, then
cover completely with the following sauce. Serve with a cucumber
salad. SAUCE VERTE: Chop the vegetables coarsely and put in blender
with lemon juice. Cover and blend until it turns into a sort of mush
with small bits of this and that in it. Add the mayonnaise and blend.
If you don't have a blender, chop the ingredients very finely and
blend them into the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, crushing them as
much as possible to give color to the sauce.
