Method

For Poaching the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare Poaching Liquid

    In a large pot, combine the water, white wine, lemon slices, dill, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Poach the Salmon

    Once the liquid is simmering, carefully add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cover the pot and let the salmon poach for 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the pot and serve immediately with your choice of sides or garnish with additional dill and lemon slices.

For Blackening the Salmon

  1. 4

    Prepare Spice Mixture

    In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Coat the Salmon

    Rub the spice mixture generously over the salmon fillets on both sides.

  3. 6

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering.

  4. 7

    Blacken the Salmon

    Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a dark crust forms and the salmon is cooked through.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
