I keep forgetting how easy it is to poach fish. Using white wine gives it that extra oomph that makes it special! Every time I serve this I get looks from those I’m serving that I must have spent hours in the kitchen slaving away. This is actually one of those dishes I feel like I pull out of a hat at the last minute.
If you’re so inclined to make it even fancier, you can make a sauce out of the leftover juices/wine in the baking dish to serve with it.
Poached Salmon in White Wine
(3 servings)
3 salmon fillets (5-6oz each)
½ cup dry white wine
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper taste
In a baking dish, brush the bottom with olive oil and place fish skin side down. Mix minced garlic and olive oil in a small dish and brush the tops of the fillets.
Pour the white wine in the dish but not over it. Drizzle remaining olive and garlic over fish. Season it with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Cover dish with foil and place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes and remove from oven.
