I made this for dinner and really liked it. REC: Poached Salmon with Lettuce and Asparagus
from Food and Wine, March 2007. I really liked the "poach in a bag" method. I lightly salted and peppered the filets, then placed a few lemon slices on the filets, then popped them into the bags. I simmered them until they were just barely done, which was a little hard to tell since my filets were more like about 4 ounces each. I think the 10 minutes noted in the recipe would be too much, but I like my salmon really moist. I used green beans instead of the asparagus and really liked them in the salad. There are so many possibilities using this poaching method. I am definitely going to try putting some capers in with them the next time I make this. I recieved no complaints about the house smelling fishy from my fish hating family. It would be easy to make some of these up and freeze them. I never knew you could simmer those small freezer bags in water. I might try freezing some other foods in these bags and then simmer them. A new take on the old boil-in-the-bag concept.
