Poached Salmon With Hollandaise Sauce

Measurement Conversion Calculator

Choose a saucepan which will just fit the chunk of salmon you have.
Half fill with measured salted water (using 1 tbsp salt to every 1.2l (2 pints) of water), bring to the boil and add the piece of fish.
Bring back to the boil and simmer gently for 20 mins.Then turn off the heat and allow to sit in the water for a further 5 mins.
To serve, pull off the skin and with a fish slice, ease some salmon off the bone (it will not come off the bone if it is not cooked) and put it on the plate, serve with hollandaise sauce*, new potatoes, asparagus , or peas and a green salad.
*see seperate recipe for hollandaise sauce)
NOTE: It will be good in a warming oven,covered,for about 20mins.
You need to give about 4-6oz fish per person for main course (don’t forget salmon is quite rich). So when buying the piece of fish with the bone allow 8oz per person.
Only take off the skin when you are ready to serve,doing so too early will result in dry salmon.

Lovely, light, few and simple ingrediants, quick and easy meal, low on budget, BIG on flavour, I accompanied this meal by adding San Remo flat long noodles with capers (capers are yummy and good for you), it was perfect. My husband was surprised at the time it took to cook, he thought I had pre prepared it, that morning. He loves to eat a salmon now and again, I cooked for him in a matter of minutes. Happy husband.
