Poached Salmon with Artichoke Confit

This elegant poached salmon with artichoke confit is a celebration of spring flavours, combining delicate fish with a vibrant Mediterranean-style salad. The salmon is gently simmered in a fragrant white wine and herb liquor to ensure it remains exceptionally moist and tender, while the artichokes are slowly cooked in olive oil to create a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Finished with fresh broad beans, peas, and mint, this dish offers a sophisticated balance of textures.

As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and seasonal vegetables. It is an impressive choice for a light lunch or a refined dinner party, offering a colourful presentation that feels truly special. For the best results, use fresh podded broad beans when in season to provide a bright, nutty contrast to the savoury olives and zesty lemon dressing.

Ingredients for Poached Salmon with Artichoke Confit

  • 80ml fresh lemon juice, divided

  • 4 artichokes

  • 6 rametti di timo

  • 4 spicchi d'aglio, sbucciati

  • 2 foglie di alloro

  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns

  • 850ml olive oil

  • 120ml fresh fava beans (from about 230g pods) or frozen, thawed

  • Sale kosher

  • 120ml shelled fresh peas (from about 230g pods) or frozen, thawed

  • 110g green olives, coarsely chopped

  • 1/2 cup pea shoots (tendrils) or fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves with tender stems

  • 1/2 cup torn fresh mint leaves

  • Pepe nero macinato fresco

  • 4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley

  • 4 sprigs dill

  • 1 limone, affettato sottilmente

  • 2 cucchiai di succo di limone fresco

  • 240ml vino bianco secco

  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns

  • Sale kosher

  • 110g skinless salmon fillets

Add 45ml lemon juice to a large bowl of cold water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove tough dark outer leaves. Using a serrated knife, trim top of artichoke to just above the heart. Trim stem, leaving about 1" intact. Using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove dark outer layer from stem. Halve artichoke lengthwise and scoop out choke with a spoon. Transfer artichoke to lemon water to prevent discoloration.

Drain artichokes; pat dry. Cook with thyme, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until oil around artichokes is bubbling. Reduce heat and cook, turning artichokes occasionally, until stems are tender when pierced with a knife, 15-20 minutes; let cool in oil.

Meanwhile, if using fresh fava beans, cook in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water. Drain and peel; place in a large bowl. (If using frozen fava beans, cook 2 minutes; do not peel.)

Return water in saucepan to a boil; add peas and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to colander in ice water. Drain and add to bowl with fava beans.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer artichokes to bowl with peas and fava beans. Add 1/4 cup artichoke cooking oil, olives, pea shoots, mint, and remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice; toss and season with salt and pepper.

Do Ahead: Artichokes can be poached 1 day ahead. Keep in oil; cover and chill.

Bring parsley, dill, lemon slices, lemon juice, wine, peppercorns, and 725ml water to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat; season with salt. Add salmon; cover. Reduce heat and simmer gently until just opaque throughout, 6-8 minutes. Using a large spatula, remove salmon and lemon slices from poaching liquid. Serve salmon with artichoke salad and lemon slices.
