- 4 wild salmon fillets
- 3 spring onions trimmed
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- Squeeze of fresh lime
- Sea salt
Prepare the Pan: In a medium-sized pan just big enough to accommodate the fish, arrange the fillets so they don’t overlap, and cover with cold water until they are immersed.
Add Seasonings: Add the spring onions, peppercorns, lime, and a generous pinch of sea salt to the pan.
Bring to Boil: Bring the water to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, turn the fillets over and remove the pan from the heat.
Poach the Salmon: Leave the pan to stand for 7 minutes. This gentle poaching method ensures the salmon remains tender and perfectly cooked.
Cool and Store: After 7 minutes, take the salmon out of the pan and leave to cool completely. Once the salmon is cool, it will be cooked to perfection. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
