Title: Dressed Salmon Categories: None Yield: 6 To 8 4 lb Whole Salmon; (up to 6) Salt and Black Pepper Bay Leaves Lemon Slices Onion Slices ---------------------------------GARNISHES--------------------------------- Lemon Parsley Lettuce leaves Tomatoes Cucumber Hopefully, you will have purchased a salmon that has already been cleaned and gutted. If you do not have a fish poacher, wrap the fish in a piece of cheesecloth to make it easier to remove it cleanly from the pan when it is cooked and ready to serve. Otherwise, select a pan that accommodates the whole fish, and fill it about half-full with water. Bring the water to a boil; add some salt and pepper, bay leaves, a few lemon slices, and a few onion slices to the hot water. Gently lower the cloth-wrapped salmon into the boiling water, or place the salmon on the rack of the fish poacher. Let the water return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes per each pound of salmon. After the cooking has been completed, let the salmon sit in the warm water for about 5 minutes more. Gently lift the whole fish out of the water and drain. Place the hot salmon on a platter and garnish it festively with a dab of butter, some lemon slices, fresh bits of parsley, tomato wedges, and cucumber slices. Serve immediately - and have a wonderful time enjoying it with your guests! Posted to dailyrecipe@recipe-a-day.com by Recipe-a-Day |
