Poach salmon supremes in only 10 minutes! Salmon poached in white wine, seasoned with fresh dill. Whether you are entertaining or making a simple meal for one, there’s nothing more easy, healthy, and delicious than poached salmon supremes from 4 good food. This is our hands-down favorite way to prepare salmon because it’s so quick and easy! Start to finish it takes only 10 minutes, and it doesn’t smell up the kitchen the way you would by frying salmon can do.

The method we use is “shallow poaching”. Rather than submerging the salmon into a poaching liquid, we rest it on a bed of shallots, parsley, and dill, with a little white wine and water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook. The salmon cooks gently and absorbs the flavors.
