Poached Salmon with Dill & Turmeric image

This is among my husband's favorites because it's always moist, tender, juicy and delicious. It's a quick, simple way to prepare salmon, and the robust turmeric doesn't overpower the taste of the fish. -Evelyn Banker, Elmhurst, New York

The salmon was a bit dry, but the dill and turmeric sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making the sauce again to use on other dishes.
