Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 skinless salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 heads loose-leaved lettuce, such as green or red leaf, trimmed and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 minutes. Add lemon zest and broth and bring to a simmer. Season salmon with salt and pepper and add to pot. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Add lettuce (pot will be full), cover, and cook until lettuce is wilted and salmon is cooked through, 9 minutes.
