Poached salmon

This is from the archives. We do this a few different ways. Sorta what we have on hand and the mood we're in.

Serves 2- I don’t like to keep fish leftovers so I just make what I’m going to use.

2 bout 1/2 lb salmon fillets I like to go to the fish person and ask that they cut about a 2 1/2 inch from the middle of a big fillet and skin them. It'll cook more evenly than a piece cut off the end

½ cup white wine

½ cup water

A few thin slices of onion and/or 1 shallot, sliced thin

1 ½ tsp. dried dill

A sprig of fresh parsley or 2 tsp. dried

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lemon

Put wine, water, dill, parsley, onions, squeeze ½ of the lemon in and then put in the skin in a sauté pan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place salmon fillets, in the pan. Cover. Cook 5-6 minutes or to desired almost flakeyness. Do not overcook.

SERVE IT UP!!! Sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. , also, your favorite form of carbs, bread, a salad and the rest of the lemon cut into wedges. Oh yea, and the rest of the white wine
