Ingredients
- read instruction manual at the end of this recipe
- 4 x (6-oz) salmon fillets
- 4 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly grnd black pepper heavy duty aluminum foil
Directions
- Cut two 12 inch square sheets of aluminum foil. Place two fillets side by side on each square and fold up the outer edges. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. lemon juice over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fold and healthy pinch the aluminum foil extra tightly to create a watertight seal around each pair of fillets. Make sure the packet is airtight by pressing down on it gently with your hand. If air escapes easily, rewrap. Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire
- "normal" cycle.
- When cycle is complete, take out salmon, throw away foil, place one fillet on each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce overtop.
- Do not have a dishwasher Bake foil-wrapped packets in a preheated 400 F oven for 12 min.
- The Instruction ManualSeal individual-size fillets in aluminum foil. Don't ATTEMPT TO COOK A WHOLE FISH.
- Place fish packets on the top rack.
- Add in dirty dishes and lemon-scented soap. This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon is tightly sealed in the aluminum foil, it won't absorb any soapy taste or possibly smell.
- Set the dishwasher to the "normal" cycle. Modern dishwashers have
- "economy" and "cold dry" settings, that are undesirable because they conserve heat. However, on the other end of the spectrum, the
- "pots and pans" setting tends to overcook the fish.
- Run salmon through the entire wash-and-dry cycle-approximately 50 min for most models. I have poached salmon in almost every make and model, and although the temperatures and duration of the cycles vary with each machine, a little more or possibly less "washing" won't affect it greatly because salmon is extremely forgiving.
- To heighten the drama for your disbelieving guests-and to prove which you have nothing up your sleeve-let them crowd around the dishwasher when you load the salmon. When the cycle is complete, invite them back to witness the unloading.
- Troubleshoot. The only time I ever had a problem was on live national TV.
- Five min before going on the air I learned which the heating element in the on-camera dishwasher was broken. After a quick huddle with the producer, I was forced to make the most of the situation by baking the salmon in the (gasp!)
- oven. To avoid this pedestrian fate, ask yourself the million-dollar question: When your dishwasher last completed its cycle, were the dishes warm As long as the answer is yes, you are ready to poach.
