White Wine-Poached Salmon


Description

I used a Chardonnay but any good white wine will do.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white wine
  • 34 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns + freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more for serving
  • 2 6-ounce salmon filets, skin on
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a wide saucepan or a high-sided saute pan, bring the wine, dill, peppercorns and kosher salt to a boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then gently slide the salmon filets into the pan. The poaching liquid should come three-quarters up the side of the fish.
  3. Cover and cook the fish at a bare simmer for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate, skin side up. Carefully remove the skin, then flip and season to taste.
  4. Serve warm or cold, with the lemon wedges on the side.
