Take note
Be cautious when handling hot liquids and equipment in the kitchen. Make sure to use fresh salmon for the best taste and texture.

In a large pot, combine water, white wine, lemon slices, bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the poaching liquid. Make sure the liquid covers the fish completely. Add more water if needed.

Cover the pot with a lid and let the salmon poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Using a slotted spatula, carefully remove the poached salmon from the liquid and transfer it to a serving plate or individual plates.

Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, and serve it with your favorite sides, like steamed vegetables or a refreshing salad.
