Poached salmon w/sauce beurre

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Carrot
1 Stalk celery
1 Shallot
1 Bay leaf
½ teaspoon Chopped fresh thyme
6 Fresh salmon filets; 6-oz each
1 quart Whipping cream
4 tablespoons Butter; at room temperature
2 cups Chardonnay wine
2 Shallots; finely chopped

Directions

SAUCE BEURRE BLANC

1. Coarsely chop the carrot, celery, and shallot; place them in a large stockpot. Add the bay leaf and thyme and approximately 2 cups water, or just enough to cover the fish. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to a simmer and place the fillets in the simmering water. Cook until just tender, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.

2. With a slotted spoon, remove the fillets and arrange on a warmed serving platter. Cover with Sauce Beurre Blanc.

1. Place the cream and the butter in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, approximately 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, pour the wine into another saucepan; add the shallots and reduce over medium heat to ¼ cup, approximately 15 minutes.

3. Add the reduced cream to the reduced wine. Simmer 1 to 2 minutes to blend flavors. Strain to remove shallots.
