Ingredients:

1 dash salt
0.40g
3 sprigs dill
0.60g
1/4 tbsp fresh parsley
0.95g
1/2 cup water
120g
5 fl oz white wine
150g
3 tbsp onion
30g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
24 oz salmon
680g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and parsley.
- Rinse the dill sprigs and set aside.
- Cut the salmon into 4 equal portions (6 oz each).
2. Create the Poaching Liquid:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the water, white wine, finely chopped onion, and a dash of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3. Add Aromatics:
- Once the poaching liquid is simmering, add the dill sprigs and chopped parsley.
- Stir gently to combine the flavors.
4. Poach the Salmon:
- Carefully place the salmon fillets into the simmering liquid, skin side down.
- Sprinkle a dash of black pepper over the salmon.
- Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil vigorously.
5. Cook the Salmon:
- Cover the skillet or saucepan with a lid and let the salmon poach for about 10-15 minutes.
- The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has turned opaque all the way through.
6. Serve:
- Remove the salmon fillets from the poaching liquid using a slotted spoon.
- Place the salmon on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill or parsley for an extra burst of color and flavor.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh garden salad to complement the delicate flavors of the poached salmon.

Tips:

- Make sure to use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.

- Do not let the water and wine mixture boil; keep it at a gentle simmer to poach the salmon evenly.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of dill and parsley to suit your taste preferences.

- Serve the poached salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.

- You can use the poaching liquid as a base for a light sauce by reducing it down and adding a touch of cream or butter.
