Lemon and White Wine Poached Salmon Recipe

Leslie Myers

This dish is delicious and simple to make. Poaching the salmon gives it a delicate lemon flavor. Cooking the salmon in liquid keeps the salmon smell from penetrating your house…an added bonus! Try this poached salmon with a side of vegetables or served cold over a salad.
