Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 5-oz wild salmon fillets, skin on
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 carrot, sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
3 black peppercorns
1/2 cup white wine
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a small pan, arrange fillets in a single layer. Cover with water until fillets are just submerged. Remove fillets and set aside. Add garlic, carrot, herbs, peppercorns, and wine. Bring to a boil, season with salt, then turn off heat; add fillets skin-side down, and cook, covered, until slightly underdone in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Reserve the poaching liquid and, once cool, combine with fillets.
