Why is Salmon so popular around the world?
Salmon is a popular fatty fish that’s loaded with nutrients and may reduce risk factors for several diseases. It’s also tasty, versatile, and widely available. There are many species of salmon that are prepared around the world. It’s popular in countries such as the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Russia and central Taiwan. It also has a growing farm raised market in South American and Norway.

Hints for using a cartouche:
Shallow poaching under a cartouche, a circle of parchment paper, yields tender fish in minutes. This method works with any mild fish, such as flounder, rockfish, or grouper. If any fillets are of uneven thickness (such as tapered portions near the tail), fold the thin portion underneath to achieve an even 3/4-inch thickness.

To Serve: Discard parchment cartouche; divide salad among 4 plates; place salmon on serving plates. Spoon sauce over fillets; garnish with thin radish slices and thyme leaves. Serve immediately.
