About Poached salmon

Poached salmon is a light, flavorful dish often associated with French and international cuisine. Prepared by gently simmering salmon fillets in water or broth, sometimes infused with herbs, citrus, or wine, this cooking method preserves the fish's delicate texture and enhances its natural taste. Rich in high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, poached salmon supports heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. It’s also an excellent source of vitamins B12 and D, selenium, and potassium. Unlike fried options, poaching requires no additional fat, making it a lower-calorie choice. However, sodium levels can increase if heavily seasoned or paired with rich sauces. A staple of nutritious and balanced meals, poached salmon is versatile, often served with steamed vegetables, grains, or fresh greens for a wholesome dining experience.
