Directions
- Directions
- In a small pan, combine all the court bouillon ingredients and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium cover and cook for 20 minutes. Strain the court bouillon, discarding the solids. Set aside.
- In a heavy skillet just large enough to hold the salmon fillet, heat the court bouillon to a gentle simmer. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan or prop an instant-read thermometer in the pan with the dial propped against the side of the pan. It should register 200 degrees.
- Carefully lower the salmon fillet into the liquid. The temperature of the water will plunge and it will cease to simmer. Heat the liquid until it returns to just below a simmer, 180 degrees, and adjust the heat to maintain this temperature. To keep the salmon submerged, it may be necessary to place a small weight, such as a lid from a small pan or an empty coffee mug, on top of the salmon.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque throughout and flakes easily, 12 to 13 minutes per inch of thickness. To test for doneness, use a paring knife to make a small incision in the fillet and inspect it visually.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside to cool. Then cut into bite size pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olives, capers and peas.
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and salt together until frothy. Whisk in the olive oil until a smooth emulsion is formed. Pour half the dressing over the potato mixture and combine well. Add the salmon and remaining dressing and gently toss. Add salt to taste.
- Transfer to a platter and sprinkle the parsley evenly over the top and garnish with the egg halves.

I made the Salmon salad for my husband and mom. OMG they LOVED it. It was delizioso! It’s a keeper now with lent on the horizon. I will make this again because the poached salmon is very tasty and mixed with the rest of the ingredients it’s just fabulous.

When I was growing up in are Italian family we never ate eggs as they came from chickens. No milk on Fridays either. Just plain fish and vetagables.
