I'm not a huge fan of Salmon. I know, I'm crazy. But this poached salmon in a cream sauce was beyond good (I think it was the cream that made me like it..) Honestly... these fish dishes are fast. I like them.

What we did to poach the salmon was place about an 8oz piece of salmon in a pan with 1.5 cups of water, 1tbsp of lemon juice, 1tbsp minced onion, a peppercorn, a parsley sprig, and a bay leaf and covered it. We heated up the pan to around 160 or 180 degrees and let the fish cook for about 5minutes. We took the salmon out of the pan then added heavy cream, white wine vinegar, and white wine to the pan and reduced it all to create the sauce. (My professor eyeballed the amount of liquid so I have no idea how much was used). We topped the fish with the sauce then sprinkled on paprika and served.

I'm telling you, the cream was so good. The fish was perfect and everything was pretty quick and easy. It made me actually like eating the salmon. I'm ready to go to restaurants and try some more!
