Poached Salmon with Hollandaise Sauce Recipe

ingredients

3 pounds salmon fillets
6 cups chicken stock
1 dried dill blossom
OR
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 shallot, minced (optional)

Cuisinart Hollandaise Sauce
1 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or use salted and omit the salt)
3 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

directions

Place the salmon in a fish poacher or enamel roasting pan and add the chicken stock, dill and shallot if desired. Poach in the oven at 350 degrees F until done, approximately 1/2 hour.

Remove fish to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and serve with a boat of Hollandaise Sauce.

For Cuisinart Hollandaise Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Insert metal blade into Cuisinart and add egg yolks, mustard, salt, and pepper to work bowl. Process for 90 seconds.

When butter is melted, increase heat and bring to boil but do not let it brown. With processor running, slowly dribble hot butter through feed tube from a large spoon. Sauce will thicken to consistency of mayonnaise.

When all butter has been incorporated, add lemon juice and pulse to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve while still warm.

NOTE: This recipe is from the book that came with the Cuisinart. It's much easier than classic Hollandaise.
