Champagne Poached Alaska Salmon
I got this from recipe goldmine under valetines menu's. I haven't tried it yet but it looks easy and elegant!!
Steps
Remove any skin or bones from salmon.
Season alaska salmon steaks / fillets lightly with salt and pepper.
Place in a pan just large enough to hold the salmon in 1 layer.
Add the champagne , lemon juice and just enough water to cover the fish.
Remove the fish and bring the liquid to a boil.
Return the salmon steaks / fillets to the pan.
Top each with an onion slice , capers , and tarragon sprig.
Reduce heat to a simmer , cover pan with foil and poach at no more than a simmer for 6 to 10 minutes.
Remove salmon steaks / fillets from the liquid and place on 4 warm serving plates.
Top each piece of fish with 1 ounce of the liquid top with olives , capers and onions.
