Poached Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 carrots, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 leek, trimmed, washed, and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 lemon, cut into 1/4 inch slices
4 sprigs fresh thyme
10 sprigs flat leaf parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seed
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 cups dry white wine
24 ounces salmon steaks

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except salmon in a saucepan large enough to hold the salmon steaks.
Add water to make liquid 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep.
Let stand 1/2 hour to blend flavors in the liquid.
Bring liquid to a boil and reduce heat to a very slow simmer.
Add salmon and cover.
Cook very slowly until fish is firm, usually 6 to 8 minutes, careful not to overcook.
Garnish with your favorite cucumber sauce.
Serve over rice.
