Salmon With Butter Sauce image

This is a recipe I'm posting for Zaar World Tour 2006. It's from a cookbook, French Classics. The author, Richard Grausman, stated that poached salmon is traditionally served with a hollandaise sauce but this is much better. You can substitute any thick fish. Serve with potatoes or rice and Chardonnay. Or if you prefer French Hollandaise Sauce #170385

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs skinned salmon fillets
1 lemons, juice of or 1 cup white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
8 ounces lightly-salted butter, softened to room temperature
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
chopped chives
chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Cut fish into individual serving sizes.
  • In large skillet, bring enough water to a boil to cover fish by 1 inch.
  • If the fish isn't fresh add the white wine, lemon juice, or vinegar.
  • Add the fish and turn down the heat to simmer. Cook about 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fish. When done, drain on paper towels.
  • While fish is simmering, cook shallots in the vinegar in a small pan over low to medium heat until 1 TB of liquid remains. Add optional ingredients.
  • Remove pan from heat. Whisk the butter, 2 TB at a time, into the shallots letting it melt before adding more.
  • Serve sauce over fish.
