Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle salmon filets with a little salt. Put the wine, water, dill, parsley, and onions in a sauté pan, and bring to a simmer on medium heat. 2. Place salmon fillets, skin-side down on pan. Cover. Cook 5-10 min., depending on the thickness of the fillet, or to desired done-ness. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
- Poach the salmon gently. Poaching is a delicate cooking method, so it's important to be gentle with the salmon. Don't overcrowd the pot, and don't boil the water. The salmon should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
- Season the salmon simply. Poached salmon is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it simply. A little salt, pepper, and lemon juice are all you need.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Poached salmon is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, or serve it with a simple sauce, such as a lemon-butter sauce.
Conclusion:
Poached salmon is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. It's a simple dish to make, and it's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can poach salmon perfectly every time.
