- 284 g Atlantic salmon filet
- 240 ml water
- 55 g white onion
- 50 g celery
- 70 g carrot
- 150 ml Chablis white wine
- 2 g lemon peel
- 1 bay leaf
- 300 g zucchini
- 120 g red bell pepper
- 120 g yellow bell pepper
- 25 g shallot
- 1 g black peppercorns
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 240 ml champagne vinegar
- 5 g Dijon mustard
- Sea salt, black pepper, olive oil to taste
Method
- Tie the salmon filet gently so it cooks evenly and keeps an elegant shape during poaching.
- In a shallow pan combine water, Chablis, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf, lemon peel, and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Lay the salmon into the aromatic liquid, cover with parchment, and poach very gently until just tender.
- Cut the zucchini into spaghetti strands and blanch briefly to preserve freshness and color.
- Dice the red and yellow bell peppers and shallot to prepare the relish.
- Whisk lemon juice, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a bright vinaigrette.
- Toss the zucchini lightly, plate as a nest, top with the poached salmon, add bell pepper relish, and finish with lemon champagne vinaigrette.
Chef’s Note: Keep the poaching liquid below a boil at all times. This dish is about delicacy, freshness, and elegant acidity, so the salmon should remain moist and silky while the zucchini and peppers stay bright and crisp.
