Today I'm making this!
Poached Salmon with Pesto and Feta
Poached is a scary word. It seems all Top Chef-y or that I need to say it in some crazy french accent!
Through this recipe I learned that poaching is actually very easy and leaves the fish all tender and flaky
(ive heard you can acheive the same effect though cooking it in the dishwasher?? I'll stick with the one that makes me sound all fancy!)
When I saw this recipe on pintrest I initially pinned it in the "all totally never make this" category… I mean it sounded so FANCY…
Then I tried it… OMGeee
a.I feel in love with its basil-y, greek-y, salmon-y goodness.
b. I fell in love with how stinking easy it is!
( I here by apologize for using so many "-y" words, but really i'm sorry i'm not sorry)
Ingredients:
1/2c Dry White Wine
1/2c chicken stock
1/2 a lemon
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1-4 pieces of salmon ( I cook for 1 so really 1 per person, the poaching liquid doesn't change)
Pesto
Feta Cheese
Directions:
1. In a small sauce pan bring white wine, chicken stock and lemon up to a slow boil.
2. While the liquid is coming to a boil top fish with 1/4 tsp of garlic per piece
3. Place fish and in simmering liquid and cover with a tight fitting lid for 9 minutes or until fork tender.
4. Remove garlic and top with desired amount of pesto and feta.
5. enjoy! ( I always like adding that as a step, it seems that we forget this one a lot even though it is the most important)
Wha-La you're all fancy now too!
Look at all that pesto-y feta-y goodness just calling your name!
Try it! Your stomach will be a happy camper!
