Chardonnay-Poached Salmon With Fennel & Orange image

Another recipe I found in Cuisine at Home Slow Cooker Menus magazine. It is a little different in ingredients and you use a slow cooker which would free up your oven. I haven't tried it yet but it did sound easy and delicious. I suppose you could fix it in the oven also. Serve with Red Onion and Caper Cream which I will post also.

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs salmon fillets, skinned and in bones removed cut to fit slow cooker
4 cups fresh orange juice
3 cups Chardonnay wine
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 teaspoons capers
1 teaspoon kosher salt
pepper
2 oranges, thinly sliced
fennel, fonds

Steps:

  • Fold a 36-inch piece of foil lengthwise to a width slightly larger than salmon fillet. Place foil in a 4-6 quart slow cooker with foil ends hanging over the handles.
  • Combine orange juice, chardonnay, fennel, onion, capers salt and pepper in the slow cooker then place salmon on top. Cover slow cooker; cook salmon on high-heat setting for 35-45 minutes.
  • Test salmon for doneness. Salmon should feel firm and the flesh should flake easily when pierced with a fork; after 30 minutes, test every 5 minutes.
  • When salmon is cooked trhough, remove it from the slow cooker by grbbing the ends of the foil and gently lifting out the salmon.
  • Arrange salmon on a platter and garnish with orange slices and fennel fronds. Serve salmon with Red Onion & Caper Cream and crakers, if desired.
