Recipe Information:
| Serves: | Salmon Portion | Course | Cooking Method | Preparation Time: |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Fresh Salmon, Steaks | Main | Boil | Over 1 hour |
Ingredients:
- 4 middle cut salmon steaks, each weighing 175g
- 150ml dry white wine
- 1 shallot, chopped very finely
- 1 bouquet garni
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large basil sprig
- 750g baby new potatoes
- 125g butter
- 4 x 15ml spoons chopped basil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- basil sprigs to garnish
- lemon slices or wedges
- dill sprigs
Method:
Place the salmon in a large dish, pour over the wine, add the shallots and bouquet garni and season well with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Whilst the salmon is chilling, place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold water with the basil sprig and salt. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain in a colander and remove the basil. Melt the butter in a pan, add the chopped basil and cook for 30 seconds, stirring, take care not to brown the butter. Serve with the salmon.
Transfer the chillled salmon to a large frying pan with a lid, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer very gently for 4 minutes, turning the fish once.
Using a fish slice, lift the salmon from the pan onto a warmed serving plate. Garnish with the lemon and dill and serve with the potatoes.
