Poached Salmon With Dill-Yogurt Sauce Recipe
- Cold water
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons; 30ml)
- 1 medium leek or onion (about 6 ounces; 170g), halved
- 1 large stalk celery (about 2 ounces; 55g), cut into large pieces
- 1/2 fennel bulb, sliced (about 4 ounces; 115g) (optional)
- A few fresh sprigs thyme and/or dill
- 1 bay leaf
- Kosher salt
- 4 (8-ounce; 225g) pieces center-cut boneless, skinless salmon fillet
- 1 cup (235ml) full-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot from 1 small (1-ounce; 30g) shallot
- 1 tablespoon (about 10g) minced fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- Large pinch ground coriander seed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 quart (1L) cold water with lemon juice, leek or onion, celery, fennel (if using), thyme and/or dill, bay leaf, and a large pinch of salt.
- Add salmon to poaching liquid. Water should cover, but if not, add enough to just cover salmon. Set over medium heat and bring poaching liquid to 170u0b0F. Adjusting heat to maintain water temperature, cook salmon until it registers 115u0b0F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the fish, about 20 minutes. (Cooking time may vary widely, so be sure to check temperatures to determine doneness.) Carefully transfer salmon to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir together yogurt, shallot, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and coriander seed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve salmon while warm, spooning yogurt sauce on top, or let it cool to room temperature before serving. You can also chill the salmon and yogurt sauce before serving.
