Preparation

Step 1

Season the salmon fillets with lots of salt and pepper.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a shallow saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a gentle simmer and then add the salmon fillets. Cover and poach the salmon in the flavourful liquid until it is just cooked through, 10 minutes or so.
Serve each fillet in a bowl with the broth ladled overtop.
