Best Poached Salmon Swimming On Fennel With Saffron And Clams Recipes
POACHED SALMON SWIMMING ON FENNEL WITH SAFFRON AND CLAMS
This recipe does have a lot of yummy juice (Hence the name) so sure you have lots of bread to soak up the delish broth. Or use the broth to make rice. I idea of this is to cook it in liquid so it stays moist. Poaching a fish means cooking it in a flavoured liquid at temperatures of 160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a moist heat method. Poaching cooks a fish gently at low temperatures, because it has hot liquid it cooks quickly and retains maximum flavour and moisture. Poached fish can be served either hot or cold. Fish to be served hot is usually poached in fish stock with spices and white wine. This liquid may then become the body of a sauce to be served with the fish.

Steps:
- Have the fishmonger cut the head and tail off the salmon and butterfly it, removing all the bones. You should have about 7 pounds of salmon.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Saute the onions and fennel in the olive oil for 10 minutes on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, fennel fronds, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper and saute for 5 more minutes, until the onions and fennel are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
- Lay the salmon, skin side down, on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Spread the fennel filling over half of the salmon. Pull the other half up and over the filling, enclosing it. Tie the salmon every 2 inches with kitchen string to secure the stuffing.
- Place a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven for 5 minutes to heat it. Carefully transfer the salmon to the hot sheet pan and bake it for exactly 30 minutes (10 minutes for each 1-inch of thickness). Do not overbake!
- Allow to cool slightly, then remove the strings. To serve, cut into thick slices with a very sharp knife. This salmon is delicious hot or at room temperature.
- Note: If you're making this in advance, be sure to cool the filling before stuffing the salmon. Refrigerate until ready to roast.
