Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 large Lemon
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 bunch Fresh dill
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 2 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the lemon into thin rounds and peeling the garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the low-sodium vegetable broth, water, sliced lemon, peeled garlic cloves, black peppercorns, fresh dill (reserving a few sprigs for garnish), and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the poaching liquid is simmering, gently add the salmon fillets, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, add a little more water or broth.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, and allow the salmon to poach gently for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove it from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 6
Garnish the poached salmon with the reserved fresh dill sprigs and serve immediately, pairing it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
