Elegant poached salmon steaks topped with creamy lemon dill sauce, perfect for entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 8 (3/4-inch thick) salmon steaks
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 small onion, thickly sliced
  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 4 slices lemon
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Prepare the salmon by giving it a quick rinse and gently patting it dry.
  • In a large skillet, gently simmer chicken broth, onion, parsley, lemon, salt, and pepper until it boils. Lay salmon in the skillet in a single layer. Bring back to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate to keep warm.
  • Strain the cooking liquid and set aside 2 cups for later use.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour, dill, sugar, and salt until bubbling (about 1 minute). Stir in reserved cooking liquid and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens.
  • Gently incorporate 1/2 cup sauce into the egg yolks. Transfer mixture back to saucepan. Cook and stir continuously until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Avoid boiling. Mix in lemon juice. Drizzle sauce over salmon and serve extra on the side.
