Last meal before Mrs Wonderer returns from her week away (and amazingly I haven't spent my week in an orgy of BDSM play clubs!) and I've treated myself to a lovely piece of fresh salmon fillet; a favourite but something she doesn't eat so I rarely buy it in the normal course of thing.
Any suggestions for something nice (but not over-elaborate) to do with it? It'll be okay just fried, or perhaps poached in some milk and served with a sauce made from the milk ... but maybe someone has a better idea?

Poached in milk with dill in it, have it with mash using some of the milk in the mash Few peas and bobs you uncle xx My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.-- Dalai Lama | |

You could bake it wrapped in foil and a squeeze of lemon to finish or a hollondaise sauce.Enjoy! | |

Thanks for suggestion. The Hollandaise sounds lovely but a bit ambitious. "Wisdom begins in wonder” (Socrates) | |

Something to try next time is serving with a few capers as they give a sour kick to fish and seafood such as crab or lobster with a salad. | |

Next time? I haven't done this time yet. Yes, you're right; something sharp makes a nice contrast, even if it's as simple as a slice of lemon. Capers are wonderfully pungent; have used them in fish pie but never with salmon. Late dinner tonight; I have to postpone my evening so I'm still awake up to about midnight. Probably time to get cooking soon though. "Wisdom begins in wonder” (Socrates) Edited 29 Jan 12, 7:38 PM by wonderer | |

Salmon is one of my fave dishes. I keep it pretty simple: lots of ground black pepper, cover it with slices of lemon, wrap in foil, bake in the oven. To go with it: mediterranean vegetables (courgettes, red onion, peppers, baby toms, etc) roasted in olive oil and spices + provençal potatoes + a nice glass of vino. Jeez I'm so hungry now! | |

I'd go for this But I would serve it with new potatoes or Uncle Ben's lemon rice, and with wilted spinach with garlic.
Enjoy There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me | |

Thanks all for ideas. I poached it in some milk and then, keeping it warm in the over, made a white sauce with the poaching milk, adding some very ripe brie and basil. yummy  "Wisdom begins in wonder” (Socrates) | |

sounds lovely, maybe next time tray bake it with vine tomatoes, a lemon cut in half and a touch of balsamic...it's glorious!
