  • Salt
  • 1 to 1½ pounds salmon fillets, pin bones removed

Instructions:
  • Create the poaching liquid by combining wine, water, dill, parsley, and shallots (or onions) in a sauté pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Prepare the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with a touch of salt, then lay them skin-side down in the pan and cover.
