Ingredients:

Serving

salt
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into four 4-oz pieces
2 tsp olive oil
6 small scallions, white and light-green parts, chopped ( 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp)
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth
finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 large navel oranges, peeled and cut into segments , plus any accumulated juices
1/2 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
2 tsp honey, or more to taste
1 tsp toasted sesame oil, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
1 1/2 oz frisee or curly leaf lettuce , torn into 2-to-3-inch pieces

Directions:

Fill a medium pot with 4 inches of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the vinegar, and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the salt has dissolved, slip in the salmon fillets. Reduce the heat as needed so the water is barely bubbling. Cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes, until the salmon is opaque, slightly firm to the touch and cooked through. The timing will vary based on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a plate; discard the poaching water.
Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the scallions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft. Add the white wine, broth, orange zest, segments and juice, cranberries, honey, sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste, stirring to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, adjusting the heat so the liquid maintains a low boil. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water in a small bowl; add to the cranberry sauce. Increase the heat and cook, stirring, so the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from the heat.
Divide the frisee or lettuce evenly among individual plates. Place a salmon fillet on top of each portion of lettuce. Spoon equal amounts of the sauce over each serving. Top with the remaining chopped scallions and serve.
