Ingredients
- about 2 cups extra virgin olive oil
- a few sprigs fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, rosemary)
- 1¾ pound salmon fillet
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 225°F and adjust a rack to the center.
- Prepare the salmon for poaching. Place the salmon in a baking dish that's approximately 9 x 13 x 2 inches -- one that will hold the fish in one layer. Pour in the oil, just to cover the fish. This may be a bit more or less than 2 cups. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add a few sprigs of fresh herbs.
- Poach the salmon. Place the pan in the preheated 225°F oven and poach just until it's cooked through, about 16 minutes.
- Garnish and adjust the seasonings. Use a slotted spatula to remove the salmon from the oil and place it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and herbs, and sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper. Serve warm or cold.
