Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 cups Water
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
Instructions
Fill a large skillet or shallow saucepan with 4 cups of water.
Slice the lemon into 1/4-inch thick rounds and add them to the water.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the water along with the fresh dill, salt, black peppercorns, and bay leaves.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once the water is simmering, reduce the heat to low to keep it from boiling.
Place the salmon fillets in the simmering water, making sure they are fully submerged.
Cover the pan, and allow the salmon to poach for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve the poached salmon warm, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
