Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 whole (sliced) Lemon
- 4 cloves (smashed) Garlic cloves
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large, wide saucepan or deep skillet, combine the water and white wine.
Add the lemon slices, smashed garlic, bay leaves, dill sprigs, salt, and black peppercorns to the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low so the broth is barely simmering—this is crucial to ensure the salmon remains tender.
Carefully place the salmon fillets in the broth in a single layer, ensuring they are submerged. If necessary, add more water to cover them.
Cover the pan with a lid and poach the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until just opaque in the center and easily flaked with a fork.
Using a slotted spatula, gently remove the salmon fillets onto a serving plate and drizzle lightly with olive oil for added richness.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh dill and additional lemon slices, if desired. Pair with seasonal vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
