Best Poached Eggs Wroasted Asparagus Rosemary Salmon And Chive Oil Recipes

EASY POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• In a 12-inch straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until bubbles cover the bottom and sides of pan. Crack each large egg into a separate small bowl (do not use eggs with broken yolks). When a few bubbles have broken the surface of the water, gently pour each egg into the pan, leaving room between them.
• Cook eggs, undisturbed, until white is just set and yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently release eggs from the bottom of pan, if necessary.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs from water. If using immediately, blot the bottom of the spoon on a paper towel to remove excess water before serving.

POACHED EGGS WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS, PROSCIUTTO, AND CHIVE OIL

Steps:

• Blend extra-virgin olive oil, chives, and lemon juice in blender or processor until smooth. Stir in grated lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Chive oil can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before using.
• Fill 2 large bowls with ice water and ice; set aside. Pour enough water into each of 2 large skillets to reach depth of 1 inch. Bring water to slow simmer over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons vinegar to each skillet. Carefully crack each egg into individual ramekins. Gently slide 1 egg at a time into simmering water, working in batches of 3 eggs for each skillet. Cook until whites are just set, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, very gently transfer eggs to bowls with ice water, being careful not to break eggs. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate eggs in bowls of ice water.
• Preheat broiler. Spread asparagus in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil; turn asparagus to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil asparagus 6 minutes. Turn asparagus over and continue to broil until crisp-tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes longer. Divide asparagus among 6 plates and drape prosciutto slices over.
• Pour enough water into each of 2 large skillets to reach depth of 1 inch; bring to simmer. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to skillets; cook 1 minute for soft yolks. Using slotted spoon, place 1 or 2 eggs atop each serving of asparagus and prosciutto. Drizzle chive oil over and around each serving. Pass remaining chive oil separately.

SMOKED SALMON WITH POACHED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
• Assemble this recipe on individual dinner plates. Put a piece of toast on each plate. Arrange the salmon and asparagus on each piece of toast. Top with the egg. Drizzle the dressing over the egg and asparagus. Garnish with dill.

ROSEMARY SALMON AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place salmon in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Combine oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic and salt. Pour half over salmon. Place asparagus and red pepper in a large bowl; drizzle with remaining oil mixture and toss to coat. Arrange around salmon in pan; sprinkle with pepper., Bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 12-15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

OLIVE OIL-POACHED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine thyme, rosemary, garlic and oil in a pot just wide enough to hold fish in a single layer without touching. (When fish is added, oil should cover it, so it is better to use more oil than not enough.) Peel 1 lemon, using a vegetable peeler to remove yellow part only, in strips. Add peel to oil. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Fit skillet with a deep-frying thermometer and heat oil to 180 degrees over medium-low heat. Reduce heat and monitor temperature, adjusting until temperature is a stable 180, with small bubbles occasionally rising to surface.
• When temperature is stable, add fish. Oil temperature will drop, so raise heat slightly (never above medium-low) just until it reaches 180 again; then reduce.
• Cook fish 13 to 15 minutes, until top is completely opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels, let drain. Place on serving platter, sprinkle with herbs, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• For chive oil- Blend olive oil, chives, lemon juice and lemon peel in blender or food processor until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Chive oil can be made 3 hours ahead of time. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before serving.)
• For poached eggs- Fill two large bowls with cold water and ice; set aside.
• Pour enough water into each of two large skillets to reach depth of 1-in. Bring water to a slow simmer over medium heat. Add 3 tbsp vinegar to each skillet.
• Carefully crack each egg into individual ramekins. Gently slide one egg at a time into simmering water, working in batches of three eggs for each skillet. Cook until whites are just set, about 3 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, very gently transfer eggs to bowls with ice water, being careful not to break eggs. (Eggs can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate eggs in bowls of ice water.)
• For rosemary salmon- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Arrange half of the rosemary sprigs in a single layer in the center of a 13x9x2-in. glass baking dish. Arrange sliced red onion on top of rosemary. Place salmon, skin side down, on top of onion. Sprinkle salmon with salt, pepper, and chopped garlic. Cover salmon with remaining rosemary sprigs. Arrange lemon slices over rosemary. Drizzle olive oil over all and sprinkle with salt. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

• For asparagus- Spread asparagus in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil; turn asparagus to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• If using a gas oven, about 14 minutes before salmon is done, place asparagus under the broiler for 6 minutes, turn asparagus over and continue to broil until crisp-tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes longer. Divide asparagus among 6 plates. (If using an electric oven, wait until salmon is done, preheat broiler, and broil as instructed.)
• Remove skin from salmon fillets and place on top of asparagus.
• If you made poached eggs ahead, pour enough water into each of two skillets to reacha depth of 1-in; bring to a simmer. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to skillets; cook 1 minute for soft yolks. Using slotted spoon, place 1 or 2 eggs on top of asparagus and salmon. drizzle chive oil over and around each serving. Pass remaining chive oil separately.
