Olive Oil Poached Salmon w/ Herb Vinaigrette
Besides my Poached Cod with 6 minute egg recipe, this is my new warm weather favorite way to prepare fish. It is pretty enough to serve for company, and you can make it ahead, so it's a win win. The basics recipe is you make a salsa verde type of vinaigrette and you pour it over slow roasted oven poached fish. Done. You serve the fish room temperature on a big platter, and you have a party. Because you cook the fish at such a low temperature, it stays moist and delicious. So good. So easy. Thanks Jen from Once Upon a Chef for pushing me to finally try this. I used the herbs that I had....parsley, chives, dill and cilantro (I never have chervil, only the French seem to).
