Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 slice Lemon
- 0.5 sliced Onion
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 10 pieces Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large skillet or shallow pan, combine water and dry white wine. Add the sliced onion, lemon slice, dill sprigs, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and salt to the pan.
Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
Once the liquid is simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and add the salmon fillets to the pan, making sure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and let the salmon poach gently for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon fillets from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the poached salmon with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with a side of your choice such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
