Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (500 ml) water
  • 1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 small lemon, sliced
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh dill or parsley (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz/170 g each)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Combine water, white wine, lemon slices, onion, and herbs in the skillet; season with salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat; ensure it doesn’t boil vigorously.
  3. While the liquid warms, season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  4. Gently place salmon fillets in the simmering liquid and cover the skillet.
  5. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F / 63°C).
  6. Carefully remove the salmon using the slotted spatula and place it on a serving platter.
