Description:Poaching fish in the dishwasher is a virtually foolproof way to shock your friends, prepare a succulent meal, and do the dishes—all at the same time.
www.surrealgourmet.com/Poaching salmon in a dishwasher is one of those great urbane legends that has circulated for years. I think I first heard that someone made it on the Johnny Carson show back in the sixties. In my never-ending search for new recipes to add to my surreal bag of tricks, I decided to see if the method really worked. Much to my surprise, my first experiment yielded a moist and perfectly cooked salmon fillet. Since then, I’ve poached salmon in more than 100 dishwashers on 3 continents. There’s never been a dull party.Ingredients:1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
heavy-duty aluminum foil
Directions:Prep
1 Cut two 12-inch square sheets of aluminum foil.
2 Grease the shiny side of the foil with the oil. Place 2 fillets side by side on each square and fold up the outer edges.
3 Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over each fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
4 Fold and 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.
5 Place foil packets on the top rack of the dishwasher. Run dishwasher for the entire "normal" cycle.
6 When cycle is complete, take out salmon, discard foil, place one fillet on each plate, and spoon a generous serving of dill sauce over top.
