Description

This Cold Glazed Salmon is a sophisticated yet simple dish perfect for summer gatherings or light dinners. The salmon is gently poached in a foil packet with dry white wine, fresh basil, tarragon, and aromatic herbs, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply without overpowering the delicate fish. The result is moist, tender fillets coated in a glossy, savory-sweet glaze that shines when served cold. It pairs beautifully with crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the juices. Ideal for meal prep, this recipe holds up well in the fridge and tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld. Serve it as a main course or slice it for elegant appetizer platters.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the dry white wine, basil leaves, tarragon sprigs, minced shallots, rosemary, lemon slices, and celery leaves.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes, or until reduced to approximately 3 tablespoons.
  4. Lay a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, twice the length of the salmon, on a flat surface.
  5. Place the cleaned and patted-dry salmon fillets in the center of the foil.
  6. Pour the reduced wine and herb mixture evenly over the salmon.
  7. Season the fish with salt and pepper, then fold the foil over the salmon, crimping the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
  8. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Remove the packet from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carefully opening the foil to release the steam.
  10. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter, brush with any remaining juices for a glossy finish, and garnish with fresh tarragon. Serve chilled.
