Catch & Cook Canadian Salmon - Butter Poached Salmon
I recently had the good fortune of being invited to be the guest chef on a trip to Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada with the West Coast Fishing Club thanks to a referral from my friend Tuffy Stone. My wife and I were lucky enough to catch some beautiful chinook (king) and coho (silver) salmon as well as enormous halibut and lingcod. The scenery was 2nd to none with humpback and orca (Killer) whale sightings, bald eagles, sea lions & seals. Such an amazing trip to what felt like an untouched part of the world.
I could not wait to come home and get to work in my outdoor kitchen preparing some of this amazing fish that we caught. I'm always looking to learn new cooking techniques, so I worked with Blaine, the executive chef at The Clubhouse in Haida Gwaii, on a new take on salmon. He recommended I sear the skin then butter poach the salmon. If you don't care for the skin you can skip that step or even remove it. This is such an easy technique, yet sophisticated taste. In this video we prepare this on a Traeger Timberline XL, but it clearly could be done on your stove and oven.

We have been cooking fish like this for years. Most of our fish fall between 2-5lbs with Kokanee or Pup Laketrout. We make foil boats and place the seasoned fish fillet in them with about 1/2 cube of butter. Smoke on 250 till the fish is flakey with a fork. I like 1/2 Killer Hogs and 1/2 Old Bay with a sprinkle of garlic powder on top for my seasoning or a Blackening seasoning. I’ve just recently discovered Meat Church and look forward to trying their rubs next fishing season. Congrats on a great catch and loved the video

Hate to waste all that glorious flavored butter especially at around $5.00 a pound these days.

This is definitely a recipe for people that are not big on fish. Most outdoorsman would say poaching wild caught fish in butter is a sin. Salt, pepper and a good sear on each side is the way this should been eaten. I think hiding the flavors of wild caught food with fat takes away from the primal experience of obtaining the animal in the wild of nature. Given I am still all for people venturing out and eating more wild caught food.

@MeatChurchBBQ Жыл бұрын

Don't disagree, but this in the butter for such a short period of time, that the richness of the fish still comes through in a major way. And also why I teach so many different ways to prepare food and have numerous salmon techniques and recipes. This was special as well since the chef at the lodge worked with me on it. Cheers and thanks for the feedback!

@howierd42 Жыл бұрын

People who don't live in the PNW have NO IDEA how to cook salmon. Poach it butter?! You just ruined all the fat and oils in that salmon, which is what makes salmon unique. Save the butter for some kind of white fish. Put that salmon on the grill over some cedar, or alder, or cedar, or even some cedar and just let it cook. Maybe some dill. Maybe some lemon. Don't overthink salmon.

No, you are going to ask someone from the Pacific Northwest. If the only fish you ever cook is catfish (not saying it is, just an example) and you think that is the only way you are supposed to cook fish, and then someone hands you a salmon, you should not cook it the same way and expect to enjoy it for the type of fish it is. You will bite into it and almost immediately know you made a mistake. This poaching salmon in butter is a mistake.
