A man who cooks so well, with an amazing personality and energy melts my heart:3

[@recruitmentch]

+Talia Bedard-Rocheleau aha. and his looks do nothing to skew your view...ahem

[@ragnkja]

I'm from northern Norway, and I generally consider poached fish like this more of a summery kind of dish.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

What a gorgeous simple recipe. That calls for a lovely wheat beer... or dare I say it a sour fruit beer to go with the pickle.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Looks great man, digging that jumper too

[@donalskehan]

cheers buddy! Hope you have a brill xmas! :)

[@joshpuffpufftekken]

4:06 "Lovely tin foil" LOL

[@recruitmentch]

+Josh Green Tin foil need loving too

[@yaggam]

made the salmon for a perfect x'mas eve dinner! its lovely! the smell of dill with white wine....heavenly!

[@SammiieeCamara]

You my friend have the best recipies! This looks sooo good! And by the way your style and hair is always on POINT!!! Anyways have a Merry Christmas!!!!

[@donalskehan]

Happy Christmas and thanks for the comment! :)

[@anastaciazara1787]

This is my favorite fish recipe. So easy and tastes delicious every time!

[@soullesplain]

[@KCGiD]

I can't say I care for the salmon, but this adorable little leprechaun could make me watch anything... I do wish he would change his haircut, though.

[@donalskehan]

This made me properly LOL! All of it! :)

[@Vardofire]

Every. Single. Recipe. Is. A. Homerun! Now I need to buy your book!

[@MISSoooBUBBLEGUM]

[@Pebslebon]

Looks delicious as always! Great idea! Thanks! :)

[@donalskehan]

Really simple too- best of all made in minutes! Thanks for the comment! :)

[@binwell]

as i come from sweden i can say that on our christmastable we have salmon AND egg halfs with mayonaise and dill :D I LOVE IT!

[@recruitmentch]

What about the beautiful juices at the bottom of the baking tray? this would be a lot nice with that juice drizzled over the salmon instead of placing it on a tray and discarding that beautiful lemon, onions and dill infused wine juice. And even better, you could put the tray on the stove and have it on low heat, add some cream to it until it thickens. I think that would be a more perfect complement to the pickle and the salmon, instead of the creme fraiche thing.

[@yvonne3582]

Roz Sa but he used the lemon with the rind wouldn't that make the liquid bitter?

[@surfacingcom]

Did not know Hellmann's did ketchup. Thank you, not-quite-subtle product placement! (srsly, did not know)

[@donalskehan]

subtle! :)

[@cyndifoore7885]

I don't do aluminum in any form, I have a stainless fish poacher that will do the job. Love his seasonings, sauce and cukes.

[@thehobbitpage]

Aragorn and I love this dish.

[@yknowthatgirl]

Isn't it Gandalf the Grey?

[@yknowthatgirl]

Or are you Gandalf Sr.?

[@thehobbitpage]

I am Gandalf the White, little Hobbit, and *****, a wizard is never a nerd, nor is he not a nerd, he will be a nerd whenever he means to

[@thehobbitpage]

***** All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

[@yknowthatgirl]

Do I get to go on an adventure?

Donal Skehan I WILL!!

[@owenharding2007]

Going to maybe try this

[@Weerd2normal2]

Such a lovely and simple way to cook a salmon. Will be making this all year round. :)

[@kennykiss1824]

I live in Sweden, but my family originates from Finland, so we have a mix between finnish/swedish Christmas feast, and there's no dill involved anywhere. As mentioned in some of the other comments, dill is MOSTLY used in the summer dishes here! But great video, looked delicious!

[@donalskehan]

Hey there! I spend a lot of time in Sweden, I'm here right now for Christmas! :) I used to work at a julbord in Gothenburg and we would use dill for a lot of the dishes, prawn salad, gravadlax and also in the sill. It's that underlying flavour that always reminds me of Scandinavia! :) Really love Sweden around this time of year- are you on the west or east? God jul! :)

[@kennykiss1824]

Donal Skehan I'm on the west, about an hour southeast from Gothenburg! Well I guess that's true, but as our julbord is slightly different than the traditional Swedish julbord, I'm not so familiar with dill at Christmas time :). God Jul!

[@johnnesbitt688]

Good lad Donal, I'll give this a go for Christmas. Looks quick and easy, fair play to you.

[@senschan]

I like red fish and I like this recipe! Donal, thank you!

[@zuperlyngexx]

Looks really great i have to try that some day

[@SprinkleofWilly]

Love this recipe! Ingredients are easy to get too! xx merry christmas.

[@DelphineDucaruge]

Cheers from New Zealand! I was going to make Salmon without really knowing how and this video popped up on my FB! Wicked! Merry Christmas!

[@ann-kathrinh6337]

I already have planned to make poached salmon with lemon and dill tomorrow night for Christmas Eve. The lemon dill creme fraiche idea is great though, I will make this too!

[@elsakristina2689]

Looks so good!

[@marnieansar4070]

Yum thank you!

[@silvaoracle6465]

Lol Donal you crack me up! Just when I think I cant do any more work in my late night studies I watch one of your food videos and like a coffee pick me up im awake again (its 2am here). Of course the down side is that the food looks yyyuuuuuuuuuuummmm and I wish you where serving me a plate through the monitor cause I'm soooo hungry. Any chance on you coming to Australian... and maybe my kitchen for yummy food!? Lol Did I mention the dish looks great and yummy :-p

[@dezcoal]

Oh I'm gonna make this for tonight! Regards from Colombia ;)

[@amieaviwell]

Awesome. So simple, as always...(-: Thank you for sharing...will be trying this for my New Year's open house!

[@donalskehan]

No problem glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with the open house- btw you can also serve this cold if you wish! :)

[@TubaBuddha]

[@AKiss611]

[@Aurelius_Silverius]

[@tmaries26]

[@tstylebyteresa47]

[@anirbanchakraborty1464]

0:56 that's a sniff of a professional

[@plexigla]

Donal has undeniable talent for cooking, I've always said so. But DAMN, he has great hair.

[@PollyDVB]

This looks delicious) Also low on calories!) Merry Christmas everybody and Happy New Year!! XOXO from Moscow

[@bea112798]

Sorted

[@cssNuramoN]

woaaaaaaah babeeeee! it was guuuuuud

[@samardzijafrida]

thats exactly what I was looking for theese days... thank you! HO HO HO !!

[@Kulfaangaren]

A suggestion to improve the sauce would be to add red caviar to it. Absolutely fantastic with boiled potatoes (add dill to the potatoe water) and that salmon of yours. Cheers.

[@bbvillalon]

Thanks for sharing this recipe...I will try this on New Year but I have a little problem. I'm here in KSA & wine is not available here. Can u please tell me what is the best substitute for wine? Thank you & Merry Christmas!

[@iliyaghorra7305]

Can you do something with the onions, the lemon and the fennel that you used in the poaching water after you cooked the salmon?

[@hafizhasarah]

You are my everything, Babe. I love you, Donal Skehan :*

[@fabionettekoven4587]

Stop at 2.43 and you can see "mr. sad cucumber"

[@donalskehan]

lol!

[@BaconBabe87]

Here in Denmark, they eat poached cod. Here, where i live, we eat roasted pork... They pig skin is nice salty and crispy :P So this dish isnt all that "scandinavian" after all.

[@zeratir7873]

And we usually eat duck.

[@donalskehan]

More inspired by! :) I'm spending my Christmas in Gothenburg this year- will try the dish out on them here! :)

[@KCGiD]

Wow! Happy to be of service. I wasn't expecting a reply... I guess Santa does exist. Have a lovely Xmas♥ Now, I think I'm going to go search for your channel, I'm in the subscribing mood suddenly...

[@homesottawagatineau]

Recipe no longer exists ??

[@xChrisS41x]

Fyi The link to the recipe in the description doesn't work (anymore)

[@cherylmcj]

Could you prepare the day before, just ready to pop in the oven ...I'm also thinking New Year's Eve , but I have to be out during the day...need to prep things the day before, this would be perfect....

[@patriciapaez-arenas9119]

Hello Donald,I loved your recipe but where can I find the recipe that link does't worked. thank you

[@CassandraKN]

Where did you get that jumper?! Love your videos btw! So funny!

[@ccrisp93]

[@cantRELAX]

love your sweater (:

[@canossful]

Great lookig dish, btw donal, whr u get that sweater sooooooooooooòooo cool, pls tell lol thanks

[@acesofgambit]

what will be the good replacement for wine?

[@mindegangstacrew]

Hey, im from bergen, norway, and i have to say that dill aint that common in norwegian christmas dishes, expect from one thing called gravlaks en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravlax, which aint that popular that it used to be. But thank you for this recipe, i would love to make this dish to my loved ones :)

[@donalskehan]

lot of inspiration from Gravadlax- Hope you enjoy the recipe! :)

[@perfectforehand]

This is the Naked Chef... resurrected!

[@janisr90]

[@donalskehan]

[@Symptom103]

nice product placement with the ketchup bottle

[@hannaevans1934]

CHRISTMAS HAS BEEN RUINED. XD

[@qunox]

Ive try making it and its awesome. Thought im muslim, any suggestions to replace the white wine.

[@harrystolichnaya6981]

verjuice

[@cyndifoore7885]

Mohd Adli Md Ali Try a white wine vinegar reduction, has no alcohol.

[@alphiethorn5506]

What temperature was this cooked? You didn't mention that.

[@NhoNobi]

Alphie Thorn 180*C/gas mark 4

[@josh2045]

Damn Donal looks young 😄

[@UltraXiolet]

What can be used instead of wine?

[@gulyaswift1503]

👍👍

[@ArmpitFire]

i thought the idea with the shiny side of foil is to reflect heat, its up side down haha

[@justyeahh930]

I subscribed too see Jamie...

[@staciemilmeister151]

What temperature is your oven set to?

[@udhe4421]

Stacie Milmeister. 180 degrees Celsius for the salmon recipe u asked for.

[@shambinnie]

I think I am starting to like you and your adorable cooking Mr. Donal =) and Please... Stooop being so cute!! lol Have a Merry Christmas!

[@donalskehan]

Lol! Eh... I'll try! :) Happy Christmas to you too! :)

[@shambinnie]

haha. now I'm a fan! Thanks for the reply btw =) P.S good luck for your next video~

[@xmmecarolinax]

You're so cute haha nice salmon, I'm definitely giving this a try

[@iriole]

Where's the spinach salad? The cucumber looks good though!

[@LP290792]

At 2.42 look out for the sad bit of cucumber that is desperate to get out of the bowl

[@DJBigMD]

i have bad expirience on fish baked with lemon... it got bitter... did i do something wrong? or is that how it should taste?

[@anythingUsay3]

aluminium foil reacts with lemon, so if you used them together they stand a higher chance of being bitter -- use parchment. also, lemon peel is bitter as well. if you placed the lemon beneath the fish, the fish absorbs the aroma instead of getting direct flavour from having it atop of the fish.

[@cyndifoore7885]

Vangie O. Great advice Vangie!

[@cyndifoore7885]

Vangie O. Great advice Vangie!

[@antiquedeano]

That looks cracking, that is my lunch sorted :)

[@TammyYaKnow]

This looks so delicious! :) And you are just too cute ;) :D

[@maisetas]

wow, you should use white pepper for fish...

[@Layl.e]

Mine came out with weird white stuff coming out of it. It was really bad

[@Laazzz]

Pretty sure that it just protein coming out cause you overcooked it a little bit

[@tookkaeg-mail3677]

Lovely ^_^

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

"Scandanavian"?

[@donalskehan]

inspired by! ;)

[@RBuckminsterFuller]

Oh, don't get me wrong! It looks delicious and I've had some very similar dishes here in Sweden. I was just commenting on the misspelling... Scandinavian pride!

[@donalskehan]

RBuckminsterFuller hahaha! Completely missed that! Don't mess with a Scandi! :)

[@CaptainChurrr]
