Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin removed)
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange salmon fillets in a baking dish in a single layer.
  3. In a saucepan, combine water, wine, onion, celery, parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the hot poaching liquid over the salmon in the baking dish.
  5. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove salmon from liquid and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon fillets for even cooking and presentation.
  • Leftover salmon can be served cold over salads or in sandwiches.
  • For extra flavor, add fresh dill or thyme to the poaching liquid.
