How to Make 4Th Of July Salmon With Egg Sauce
- **Poach the Salmon:** In a large skillet, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, halved; 10 black peppercorns; 1 bay leaf; and 4 sprigs of fresh dill.
- Gently place 4 (6-ounce) salmon steaks in a single layer in the boiling water. Ensure the salmon is mostly submerged. Reduce heat to medium-high to maintain a simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Using a slotted spatula, carefully remove the salmon and place it on a platter. Loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Reserve the poaching liquid for the egg sauce.
- **Prepare the Egg Sauce:** In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup chicken broth to a boil. Add 1/2 cup chopped carrots and 1/4 cup chopped onion. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
- Drain the vegetables, reserving the cooked carrots and onions. Discard the broth.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of the reserved salmon poaching liquid, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, the cooked carrots and onions, and 2 large eggs, chopped.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill.
- **Serve:** Spoon the egg sauce generously over the salmon steaks. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately with new potatoes and baby peas.
