Poached Salmon with Orange-Ginger Sauce

Zola Gorgon on

I got all dressed and ready for the wedding. I stepped out of the dressing room and let my husband be the judge. I asked him if the hat looked good or if I should just wear the fascinator. He came back with, “Go big or go home”. So the hat stayed pinned securely to my head.

And turn heads, it did.

I definitely won the award for the biggest hat at the wedding. There was one that came in a close second in size but all others were much smaller and more conservative. It was fun wearing that hat. I almost felt British for just a few hours. (I went with the fascinator for the wedding reception. I could not wear that hat all day long. I could barely get it and me in the car!)

I guess it generated post wedding conversation because I got an email a few days after the wedding from my sister-in-law (mother of the bride) who said I won the award for the best hat. Of course there was no formal competition but it was nice to hear the compliment. At least I took it as a compliment.

So here’s your chance. Vote on my hat. Scale of one (What were you thinking?!) to ten (Perfect hat for the occasion. Spot on!). Send your votes to Zola@zolacooks.com.. I can’t wait to see the results. Feel free to comment too. (The pic was taken on a cell phone so it’s a bit fuzzy but you’ll manage with it).

Poached Salmon (SUPER EASY)

 

If you want moist salmon that is flawlessly cooked with almost no effort at all, this is your best bet. You can eat this with plain salt and pepper or several kinds of sauces or even salsa. Here’s a version with an orange-ginger sauce.

For the salmon:
2, 6 oz portions of salmon filet or steak
Water

In a sauté pan with sides put in your salmon skin side down. Pour in enough water just to cover the salmon. You don’t want it floating around; just covered.

Bring the salmon to a boil. Lightly boil for 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the salmon sit in the water for 10 minutes. Salmon will be done and will be juicy as can be.
