Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 1 slice Lemon
- 0.5 sliced Onion
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 10 pieces Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet or shallow pan, combine water and dry white wine. Add the sliced onion, lemon slice, dill sprigs, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and salt to the pan.
Step 2
Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Once the liquid is simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and add the salmon fillets to the pan, making sure they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 4
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and let the salmon poach gently for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon fillets from the poaching liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 6
Garnish the poached salmon with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7
Serve immediately with a side of your choice such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
