Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Poaching Liquid

In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, champagne, chopped shallots, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

2

Poach the Salmon

Once the poaching liquid is simmering, carefully add the salmon fillets to the saucepan. Cover and poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

3

Finish the Sauce

Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove it from the saucepan and set it aside. Continue to simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Stir in the fresh dill.

4

Serve

Place the poached salmon on a serving platter and drizzle the cream sauce over the top. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
