Poached Salmon Ingredients

Method

Poached Salmon Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    In a large pot, combine the water, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Dill

    Once the poaching liquid is simmering, add the fresh dill to the pot. Let it steep for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Poach the Salmon

    Gently place the salmon fillets into the poaching liquid, ensuring they are submerged. Cover the pot and poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is poaching, steam the mixed seasonal vegetables in a separate pot or steamer for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Once the salmon and vegetables are cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the poaching liquid and plate it alongside the steamed vegetables. Drizzle some of the lemon dill sauce over the salmon for added flavor.
