Poached Salmon With Shrimp And Crab Cheese Sauce
- 3 -4 lbs salmon fillets
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/2 medium onion
- Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk (I prefer whole)
- 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 (6 ounce) can crab
- 2 (6 ounce) cans baby shrimp
- In a large skillet (I use my electric skillet), simmer chicken broth, celery pieces (about 3 inches long) and onion slices.
- I use the vegetable pieces to make sort of a"trivit" under the salmon, so make them chunky.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Lay the fillet over vegetables, tucking under the tail end and continue to simmer until done through, about 30 minutes.
- Make sure it is flaky and done all of the way through by seperating the fish with a fork.
- If it is still bright orange, simmer longer.
- Meanwhile make the sauce by melting the butter then adding the flour.
- Cook for about 1 minute, then gradually add the milk.
- Heat through but do not boil.
- Once hot, gradually add the cheese and stir until it is all melted.
- Add the crab and shrimp, heating gently until hot.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and discard the broth and vegetables.
- Serve the fish and sauce seperately as some like more sauce than others.
