Poached Salmon With Ginger And Cilantro

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 7 mins Cook Time: 13 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 12 ounces salmon fillets (2 pieces) or 12 ounces salmon steaks (2 pieces)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
• 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup dry wine (or water with lemon)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, for garnish

Recipe

• 1 in a small non-reactive heavy-bottomed pan, place salmon, skin side down (keeping the skin on makes it easier to remove the salmon from the pan later). top with 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped cilantro, the ginger, garlic, wine, and water.
• 2 cover and simmer, allowing 8 minutes per inch of thickness, until cooked through (when salmon flakes easily with a fork).
• 3 serve the salmon with pan juices and garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro. side dishes of rice and steamed broccoli will make the colors pop.
