Calories 292kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chicken or seafood broth
- 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice about 3 oranges
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ½ lemon squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 salmon fillets
- tablespoon Optional garnishes 1 each chopped dill and chives
Instructions
- Combine the broth, orange juice, lemon juice, dill, salt, peppercorns and bay leaf in a skillet or pan with tall sides. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow all of the flavors to come together.
- While the broth is coming together, remove the skin for the fish or better yet, have your fish monger remove it for you when it's purchased.
- Slide the salmon into the simmering broth. The broth should come halfway up the sides of the fish. Spoon the sauce over the fish, cover and cook for 5 minutes, baste again and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the flesh is firm.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnish with chopped dill & chives.
