Salmon poached is a culinary dish featuring salmon gently cooked in liquid, typically water, broth, wine, or a combination infused with herbs and aromatics. Originating from European cuisine, particularly French cooking, poaching preserves the fish's tender texture and natural flavors. This preparation method avoids added fats, making it a heart-healthy choice rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health and reduce inflammation. Salmon is also an excellent source of high-quality protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals like selenium and potassium. The absence of heavy oils and frying makes poached salmon lower in calories compared to other methods of cooking, while retaining its nutrient density. However, sodium levels can increase if the poaching liquid is heavily seasoned. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or whole grains enhances its nutritional profile, making it an ideal addition to a balanced diet focused on wellness and vitality.
