POACHED
SALMON IN A WHITE WINE BUTTER SAUCE WITH DILL, LEMON
AND SHALLOTS
AMERICAN SAFARI CRUISES
American Safari Cruises has two small yachts, the Safari
Spirit and Safari Quest. They travel through Alaska
with destinations to Prince Rupert to Juneau; exploring
isolated coves, small fishing villages, beachcombing,
watching for whales and other wildlife, fishing for
salmon and halibut, taking kayaks or zodiacs into shore
landings, and exploring the faces of glaciers.
Their recipe:
Leave on the skin of the salmon and poach with the skin
down for 10 to 12 minutes. Whip butter until soft, add
tarragon or rosemary, roll in wax paper or parchment,
and freeze. At the time of serving, slice herbed butter
and put a pat on each fillet so it melts over the fillet.
This is usually served with rice and with mixed vegetables
flavored with garlic, lemon and rice wine vinegar. The
salmon can also be prepared by placing the filet skin
down on parchment, putting a pinch of grated lemon zest
on each filet, baking at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes,
then turning on the broiler for 2 minutes to give a
nice crust. This is usually served with roast potatoes
and a Caesar or spring salad. Wine choice: German liebfraumilch.
