Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon fillets cut into 4 pieces
- salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup dry white wine
- fresh parsley
- lemon wedges
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry then season with salt and pepper. Divide the butter evenly between the four pieces, spreading on top.
- Combine the wine and chicken broth into a medium sized skillet that's large enough to hold the 4 pieces of salmon. Bring to a low simmer.
- Place the salmon pieces into the simmering liquid.
- Keep at a low simmer and poach for 10-15 minutes until the meat flakes and is cooked completely.
- Plate each salmon piece and serve with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the top.
Notes
- Calories include all of the butter sauce, so will be less if you don't eat all the simmering sauce.
