Tips:

  • To ensure the poached salmon remains moist and succulent, avoid overcooking it. Use a timer or an instant-read thermometer to monitor the internal temperature, which should reach 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium.
  • The type of pan you use for poaching matters. Choose a wide, shallow pan that allows the salmon fillets to lay flat and cook evenly. A non-stick pan is ideal to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid to infuse the salmon with added taste. The recipe provided in the article includes a simple poaching liquid made with white wine, lemon, herbs, and salt. Feel free to customize the poaching liquid according to your preferences by adding other aromatics such as shallots, garlic, or peppercorns.
  • Gently handle the salmon while poaching to avoid breaking or flaking the delicate fish. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to carefully transfer the fillets from the poaching liquid to a serving plate.
  • Conclusion:

    Poached salmon is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins. By following the tips and steps outlined in the recipe, you can create a perfectly cooked poached salmon that is both healthy and flavorful.
