10 Minute White Wine Poached Salmon

10 Minute White Wine Poached Salmon

This is my current favorite way to eat salmon lately.  It’s so simple, take 10 minutes, and yields a juicy, tender, and flakey salmon.  It really takes in all the flavors from the wine and dill, not to mention your house smells of wine and dill as well – that’s a good thing.  It won’t leave your house smelling like it typically does after you cook fish.  Hallelujah!  Hence, why this is my current favorite salmon recipe.

I like having several quick dinner options in my back pocket for nights I know we won’t have a lot of time, but want to keep us from having to eat out and eat a less nutritious meal.  This is a great one for nights like that, or even nights you just don’t want to put a lot of effort into cooking.  I use it often and even my husband who isn’t a fish lover enjoys it.
