Ingredients
- 2 large lemons
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 sprigs parsley
- 3 sprigs dill, (or ½ to 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, sliced into four equal portions
- kosher salt
- Hojiblanca Spanish extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon: Zest, then juice one lemon. Slice the second lemon into wedges or rounds for garnish. Set aside.
- Prepare the poaching liquid: In a large saucepan with a lid, combine the wine, lemon juice, shallot, garlic, and 2 sprigs parsley, and 2 sprigs dill. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Season the salmon: Pat the salmon dry and season with kosher salt on both sides.
- Poach the salmon: Nestle the salmon in the poaching liquid. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cover. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish and your desired doneness (I stop at 5 minutes). While the salmon poaches chop the remaining sprig of parsley and dill.
- Serve: Transfer the salmon to four serving plates and top with a bit of the poaching liquid. Sprinkle the salmon with lemon zest, chopped parsley, and dill. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if using. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges or slices on the side.
Notes
- Skin-on and skinless salmon will both work well for this recipe. If you’re using skin-on salmon, you may want to use a sharp knife to remove the skin just before serving.
