Suggestion for sauce for Poached Salmon.

pietrap, Nov 8, 6:15am
Any suggestions for a nice sauce to go with poached salmon! I want to try something a bit different to what I would normally do for a dinner party but not sure what would work. I was thinking maybe a garlic dill creamy sauce. Is there anything that I should avoid! I don't usually cook eat salmon so any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is a lovely cold sauce for all kinds of fish, especially salmon.

Honey, mustard and dill dressing

100g honey 

100g Dijon mustard 

100ml white wine vinegar 

350ml olive oil 

1 tbsp chopped dill
salt and pepper to taste

Mix together the honey, mustard and vinegar and whisk in the oil, gradually, until the sauce emulsifies. Add the chopped dill, salt and pepper.

This sauce goes well with most types of fish.

Lime Cream with Chives

150 ml cream
Juice of 2 limes
Salt, pepper and cayenne
A few chives finely chopped

Warm up the creamand slowly add the lime juice whisking all the time. The cream should thicken quite rapidly. Season to taste then add the chives. Chill but bring to room temperature before using.

Poached Salmon Cutlets, very simple and takes very little time.

1/4 cup fresh finely chopped parsley
1 1/2 cups fish stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 spring onions finely chopped
4 salmon cutlets - tail end and
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley extra to sprinkle over dish when serving.

Combine fish stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg, wine and spring onions in a shallow pan, bring slowly to the boil and boil for only 1 minute.
Place salmon into the stock in one layer, simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Remove salmon to serving plates with slotted spoon and keep warm.
Boil the stock for another minute, add parsley.

Spoon over salmon and serve with extra parsley.

This might sound too simple but we really just like poached eggs with salmon.

If I was reading off a menu,the honey, mustard and dill option is working for me so far. Sounds as though it would work really well. Yummy!

Hollandaise Sauce (Quick)
150gms butter
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 egg yolks
pinch castor sugar
1/2 tsp each salt and white pepper
In separate cups, melt the butter and heat the lemon juice,(hot not boiling) place egg yolks and seasonings into a bowl or food processor. TURN on the processer or stick blender and add hot lemon juice and then slowly add melted butter. Keep processor going for a minute after mixed.
I have a small bowl attachment on my processer which I use.

Fantastic with poached or steamed salmon and so easy to make. If you have any fresh dill then a hint of that sprinkled on the sauce would be a fine addition.

Greek yoghurt or sour cream mixed with horseradish, lemon juice and dill, either fresh or dried - yummy and very easy - don't ask for the quantities though because I just add 'til it tastes right!
