Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- 5 prigs fresh dill plus more for garnish
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large deep skillet, combine the broth, vinegar, lemon, shallot, garlic, dill, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Carefully add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Season with the salt and cover the skillet.
- Let the salmon poach in the liquid until cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F, about 5-8 minutes. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the poaching liquid using a slotted spoon. Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh dill.
- Serve with hollandaise sauce, if desired.

Notes
- Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, the boiled salmon will last for about 3 days. I'd recommend just warming it for a couple of minutes on low heat in the microwave.
