Poached Salmon with Beet Relish

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • 2 cups dry white wine
  • Four 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place beets on a baking tray, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool while proceeding with salmon.

  3. Peel reserved beets; cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a bowl; add remaining tablespoon olive oil, chile pepper, parsley, mustard seed, and vinegar. Toss well to combine; serve over salmon.
