1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Slice the lemon into thin rounds.
2
Prepare the Poaching Liquid
In a large skillet, combine white wine, lemon slices, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

3
Add the Salmon
Once the poaching liquid is simmering, carefully place the salmon fillets into the skillet. Ensure the liquid covers the fillets as much as possible.
4
Poaching the Salmon
Cover the skillet and let the salmon poach for 10-12 minutes, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Add Butter and Capers
In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, add the butter and capers to the skillet, allowing them to melt and mix into the poaching liquid.

6
Plate the Salmon
Carefully remove the poached salmon from the skillet using a slotted spatula. Place it on a serving platter.
7
Garnish with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Spoon the melted butter and caper sauce over the salmon and top with sun-dried tomatoes for added flavor.
8
Serve
Serve the poached salmon warm, garnished with additional lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired.
