Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the broth, combine all the ingredients with 4 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 1 hour. Strain through a fine sieve and place in a clean, wide saucepan.

  2. Step 2

    Bring the broth to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir in the morels and return to a simmer. Add the salmon and simmer slowly until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Carefully lift the salmon out of the broth with a spatula and place each piece in a shallow bowl. Use a slotted spoon to place the morels over and around the salmon. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and drizzle with the lemon juice. Ladle some of the broth around the salmon, garnish with the dill and serve immediately.

This is an elegant use of morels. I used mostly whole mushrooms to create the very flavorful broth. It took an hour but there was no work involved. The poached salmon was juicy, in the reduced broth. This method of cooking helps to control the doneness of the fish to your liking. The essential flavor of morel came through with none of the often used butter or cream. Lemon and dill were perfect to finish off the dish. I used hundreds of Time Cooking recipes and this is now a favorite.
