Olive Oil-Poached Salmon Bellies 
with Summery Peach-Tomato Salsa

I thought about sweets, including a variation on my Peaches and Cream Tart, Mini Peach Galettes, or Peach Cobbler. But I wanted to go savory and had some salmon bellies from our CSF (community-supported fishery) Real Good Fish. And because I didn't want to mess - too much - with a good thing, I just did a slight variation of my Olive Oil-Poached Salmon Bellies with Cantaloupe-Preserved Lemon Salsa.

Ingredients serves 4

Salmon
  • 1 pound salmon bellies
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh oregano
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • olive oil

Salsa
  • 1 C diced ripe peaches
  • 1 C diced heirloom tomatoes
  • 1 T diced preserved lemon rind (one of my recipes here)
  • 1 T capers
  • 1 t fresh thyme leaves
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • olive oil

Procedure
Salsa
Place the peaches, tomatoes, lemon rind, capers, and fresh thyme together in a medium mixing bowl. Add in a glug or two of olive oil and stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, as needed. Set aside.

Salmon
Select a large enough pot that the salmon bellies can sit flat without touching each other. I use my Le Creuset braiser.

Pour olive oil into the pot so that it’s about ½” deep. Add garlic, oregano, and thyme. Bring the oil to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. 

Lower the salmon bellies – skin-side down – into the warm oil. Poach for 10 to 12 minutes. Flip the bellies and poach for another 5 to 6 minutes. If using immediately, serve warm. If using later, let salmon cool and refrigerate.


To Serve
Place salmon bellies on individual serving plates and spoon the salsa over the top. Serve immediately.

  1. I love fruit salsa on fish! It adds so much moisture. Sounds delicious.

  2. The sweet fruit and salty capers must be amazing with the salmon. And I am a huge fan of preserved lemons so it is always fun for me to find another recipe that uses them.

    And unrelated to this particular recipe, I have to laugh at your tab for "beyond pancit and lumpia". What else is there? Adobo, cassava bibingka, sinigang, okay lots of things... except for the duck egg embryo thing... just can't bring myself to appreciate that one. :)

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
