Poached Salmon

By CBrue

This poached salmon recipe is one of the first recipes my father taught me a few years ago. It's his favorite way to prepare salmon because not only can it be prepared in 10 minutes or less, but it doesn't stink up the house the way broiling or frying salmon can, and it tastes simply delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (a good Sauvignon Blanc)
• 1/2 cup water
• A few thin slices of yellow onion and/or 1 shallot, peeled and sliced thin
• Several sprigs of fresh dill or sprinkle of dried dill
• A sprig of fresh parsley
• Freshly ground black pepper
