Ingredients

SAUCE

  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup kefir or buttermilk how to make kefir
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 5 sprigs fresh dill
  • 5 sprigs fresh chives
  • A squeeze of lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

POACHED SALMON

  • 1 or 2 6 to 8oz wild salmon fillets
  • 2-3 cups water or enough to cover the fish
  • 3 slices of lemon
  • 5 peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup white wine if you have an open bottle sitting around - optional

TO SERVE WITH

  • Lettuce peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers
  • Quinoa
  • Rice
  • Asparagus or broccoli

Instructions

  • To make sauce: blend the ingredients together. I use a blender or a mini food processor. Set aside.
  • To make salmon, combine all ingredients in a medium pot, bring to simmer avoiding hard boiling. Simmer 8-9 minutes. Remove from liquid with a slotted spatula.
  • Serve poached salmon over your favorite garnish and top with probiotic avocado dill sauce.

Notes

I don't use a high-powered blender because I like to keep the little shreds of dill visible in the sauce.
