- Fresh salmon fillet(s)
- 3/4 cup dry white wine OR juice of a lemon
- Water, room temperature
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place salmon fillet(s) in a baking dish.
Step 2
Add lemon juice OR dry white wine to the dish. Then add room temperature water, until the salmon is completely submerged in liquid, with an extra ½ inch of water added above the top of the salmon.
Step 3
Place salmon in the oven at 375°F for 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. While the USDA recommends salmon is cooked to 145°F degrees, salmon cooked to medium will register 135°F in the thickest part.
Step 4
Use a slotted spatula to remove salmon from poaching liquid and serve!
