Dill-poached salmon is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the delicate flavors of salmon with the aromatic touch of dill, all poached in a savory chicken broth. This cooking method ensures the fish retains its moisture and absorbs all the wonderful flavors of the broth and herbs, making for a simple yet flavorful meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
- In a large, shallow pan or skillet, pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth.
- Heat the broth over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer.
- Once the broth is simmering, sprinkle the chopped dill evenly into the liquid.
- Stir gently to combine the dill with the broth.
- Carefully place the salmon fillets into the pan, making sure they are fully submerged in the broth.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Do not let the broth boil vigorously.
- Cover the pan with a lid.
- Allow the salmon to poach for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
- For even cooking, ensure the broth gently simmers but does not reach a full boil.
- Using a slotted spatula, carefully remove the salmon fillets from the broth and transfer them to serving plates.
- Optionally, drizzle a small amount of the poaching broth over the top of the salmon for added moisture and flavor.
- Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
- Serve the dill-poached salmon warm with your choice of side dishes. Steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad pair wonderfully with this delicate and flavorful dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh dill for a more vibrant flavor.
- Ensure the chicken broth is low in sodium if you are watching your salt intake.
- Poach the salmon gently on low heat to avoid overcooking and maintain its tender texture.
- Serve the poached salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced and healthy meal.
- You can add other herbs or spices such as thyme, garlic, or peppercorns to the broth for added flavor.
- For an extra rich dish, you can finish with a drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving.
By following these steps, you can prepare a perfectly poached salmon infused with the fresh taste of dill and the rich notes of chicken broth. This dish is not only delicious but also a great way to enjoy a nutritious meal that's both low in fat and high in protein.
