Ingredients
Makes 2 Servings
- 1 lemon
- salt for the cooking water
- a few thick slices of red or yellow onion
- 8 whole black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 8-ounce salmon fillets or steaks, ¾-to 1-inch thick
Method
- Cut the lemon in half lengthwise
- Cut one of the halves into 4 thick slices and the other half into wedges
- Set the wedges aside for serving
- Choose a skillet or pot that is large enough to hold the salmon in a single layer and deep enough that you’ll be able to cover the fish with water by about an inch
- Fill the skillet about two-thirds full with cold water and set it on the stove over high heat
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, plus the lemon slices (giving them a squeeze as you drop them in), onion slices, peppercorns, and bay leaf
- Bring to a boil
- Meanwhile, line a plate with three layers of paper towels and place it near the stove
- Gently slide the salmon into the boiling water
- Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook at a gentle simmer for 8 minutes
- To check for doneness, remove the salmon with a slotted spoon or slotted metal spatula and gently insert the tip of a small knife into the center
- The fish should be opaque pink in the center, not translucent, and it should be firm to the touch
- If it’s not quite ready, carefully slide it back into the water for another minute or so
- Use the slotted spoon or slotted metal spatula to remove the salmon from the water, and drain it briefly on the paper-towel-lined plate
- Discard the poaching liquid and serve the salmon hot, at room temperature, or chilled, accompanied with the lemon wedges
