Main Dishes - Fish, Shellfish
ZINGY POACHED SALMON FOR TWO

"This recipe is quick and easy. It's an old dinner party standard."

Vegetable oil spray
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh hot chili pepper, minced
2 (6 ounces each) salmon fillets* or other firm-flesh fish fillets, skin removed
2 cups water
1 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 sprig thyme
Juice of 1 lime
1 bay leaf
6 black peppercorns
Sea salt, to taste
3 scallions, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Coat pan lightly with vegetable oil spray. Saute onion, garlic and chili for 1-2 minutes.

Add fish, water, tomato, lime juice, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove fish and strain broth.

Place fish in shallow serving bowls. Ladle some of the strained broth over the fish. Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro.

*Note: We recommend that you use wild-caught salmon instead of farm-raised salmon.
