Poached Salmon With Dill Sauce

Gently poached salmon with a cool, creamy dill sauce. Delicate, light and great warm or chilled.

Serves: 4  |  Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup white wine or broth
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped dill
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Bring the water, wine, lemon slices and bay leaf to a gentle simmer in a wide pan.
2. Lower the salmon into the liquid so it is just covered.
3. Poach at a bare simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until it reaches 145°F.
4. Stir together the yogurt, dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
5. Serve the salmon warm or chilled with the dill sauce.

Pin Tip

Keep the liquid just below a boil. Rapid bubbling makes poached fish tough.

Food Safety

Cook salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, measured in the thickest part, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
