How to Make Easy Poached Salmon With Dill

  1. Bring water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add dill sprigs to the simmering liquid.
  3. Gently place salmon fillets in the poaching liquid, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  4. Reduce heat to low and poach for 8-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets; check for doneness earlier for thinner fillets.
  5. Remove salmon from the poaching liquid and gently place on a plate. Discard the poaching liquid.
  6. Garnish with extra fresh dill and lemon wedges, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
