Poached Salmon with Shrimp and Crab Cheese Sauce Submitted by: Barbiel
3-4 lbs salmon fillets 1 1/2 cups chicken broth	2 stalks celery 1/2 medium onion
Lay the fillet over vegetables, tucking under the tail end and continue to simmer until done through, about 30 minutes. Make sure it is flaky and done all of the way through by seperating the fish with a fork. If it is still bright orange, simmer longer. Meanwhile make the sauce by melting the butter then adding the flour. Cook for about 1 minute, then gradually add the milk. Heat through but do not boil. Once hot, gradually add the cheese and stir until it is all melted. Add the crab and shrimp, heating gently until hot. Remove the fish from the skillet and discard the broth and vegetables. Serve the fish and Sauce (recipe below) seperately as some like more sauce than others. Serves 6-8. Sauce: 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk (I prefer whole) 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded 1 (6 ounce) can crab 2 (6 ounce) cans baby shrimp Simmer chicken broth, celery pieces (about 3 inches long) and onion slices. You can use the vegetable pieces to make sort of a"trivit" under the salmon, so make them chunky. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve over Poached Salmon.
