Quick Easy Tomato Lemon Oven Poached Salmon Or Trout Recipes

EASY POACHED SALMON WITH DILL

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
• Remove any visible bones and cut off the head and tail (if it hasn't already been done for you) If using a poacher place the tray in the poacher, add 1/4 cup water and place your salmon in the tray skin side down.
• If you do not have a fish poacher (how many of us do?) you can use any oven safe pan large enough to hold your fish.
• Just crumple and crinkle a medium sized sheet of tin foil and place your fish on the foil skin side down.
• Add enough water to just come to the edge of the foil without spilling onto the fish (approx 1/3 cup).
• On top of the fish sprinkle all ingredients.
• Cover with lid or tin foil.
• Cook for 12-20 min's.
• For RARE fish, cook just until white liquid emerges from fish (this is the cooked fish oil).
• It will be pinky white on the outside and peachy pink inside.
• For more well done fish, cook until fish is a pinky white color all the way through.
• Place on a platter to serve.
• Leave onions, capers and dill on the fish.
• Slice lemons on the side for those who like fresh lemon juice.
• This salmon is great served with rice and steamed veggies or a salad.

SIMPLE POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• In a large, deep, straight-sided skillet or heavy pot, combine carrots, celery, onion, lemon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 8 minutes.
• Season salmon with salt and gently lower into simmering liquid (liquid should just cover fish). Reduce to a very gentle simmer. Cover and cook until salmon is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes (longer for thicker fillets). Using a wide slotted spatula, remove salmon from liquid.

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.
