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.
