Poached Salmon Fillets
Sounds great. This uses a shallow poaching method and from start to finish, about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, as shown in Step 1
- salt, as needed
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup water
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 3-4 sprigs fresh dill
- 1 sprig fresh parsley
- black pepper, as needed
- lemon slices, for serving, optional
Instructions
- This the type of salmon fillets I get at Tesco, 140-160 grams (5-5 oz) each. One fillet per serving is ideal.
- In a non stick pan that will hold all the fillets, add the water, wine, parsley, dill, shallots, and heat to a simmer on medium heat. While the pan is heating, season the salmon with salt on both sides.
- When the liquid is simmering, place the fillets in the pan, skin side down, cover and let steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of the fillets or until they flake easily with a fork.
- Serve lightly sprinkled with black pepper and lemon slices if desired with rice and a vegetable on the side.
Notes
I bought 4 fillets, Norwegian import, 69 Baht for 140 to 160 gram fillets. I figured the servings as 1 fillet per serving. For 69 Baht per fillet, this is about $2.03 per serving. High cost but would be nice for a once in a while meal.
