1 teaspoon olive oil
Four 4- to 6-ounce fillets salmon
Sea salt and white pepper
2 lemons, 1 halved and 1 cut into wedges
1 bottle dry white wine, such as pinot grigio
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and season with some sea salt and white pepper. Set aside.
Fill a high-sided large skillet one-third of the way up with water. Add the wine and lemon halves. Bring to a low simmer, add the salmon and let cook until firm to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes for medium. For well-done salmon, cook for 10 minutes.
Serve garnished with the lemon wedges and parsley.
