Ingredients
  • 1/2 onion, large dice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 stalk lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/8 bunch parsley
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 lemon peel
  • 1 lime peel
  • 3 liter water
  • four 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 cup bacon, small dice
  • 2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Add all of the ingredients except for the salmon into a large sauce pot and bring to a boil. Return to a simmer and add the salmon fillets and gently simmer until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. In a medium skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy and then drain on a paper towel. Add the panko to the bacon fat and cook until crispy. Add the bacon and the chopped parsley to the panko and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the herb-bacon crust on top of the poached salmon fillets.
