Poached salmon in a white wine and herb stock
Healthy Christmas dinner
Fish makes a healthy alternative to the traditional roast as it is filling, tasty and healthy. Salmon in particular is a very traditional fish to serve over the festive period. Simply serve it poached whole in a white wine and herb stock for an impressive Christmas dinner.
Poached salmon
Serves four
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets or one whole salmon, cleaned
Half a cup of white wine
Half a cup of water
Handful of herbs (try dill and parsley)
Juice of one lemon
1 onion, sliced
5 or 6 black peppercorns
Place all the ingredients except for salmon in a large, deep pan. Bring to just under boiling point (when bubbles start to form), then add the fish and cook for five to ten minutes depending on the size of the fish (fillets will take less cooking time than whole fish). When the flesh has gone opaque, remove the fish and bring the sauce to the boil to reduce its volume. Then use the sauce as an accompaniment if desired.
