How To Make poached salmon with hollandaise sauce
-
1Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce (directions below).
-
2Heat the water, salt, peppercorns, lemon slices, parsley, onion, and bay leaf to boiling, in a 12-inch skillet or fish poacher, then reduce the heat.
-
3Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
-
4Place the salmon steaks (or fillets) in the skillet, adding water if necessary to cover the steaks.
-
5Heat to boiling and then reduce the heat.
-
6Simmer uncovered 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
-
7Serve with the Hollandaise Sauce.
-
8HOLLANDAISE SAUCE: Stir the egg yolks and lemon juice vigorously in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan.
-
9Add 1/4 cup of the butter and stir constantly over very low heat until the butter is melted.
-
10Add the remaining butter. Continue stirring vigorously until the butter is melted and the sauce is thickened. (Be sure the butter melts slowly as this gives the eggs time to cook and thicken the sauce without curdling.)
-
11Serve hot or at room temperature.
-
12Cover and refrigerate any remaining sauce. To reheat, stir in a small amount of hot water.
