Recipe Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
-
Prepare the Foil Pan: Take a foil pan and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Layer the Aromatics: Arrange slices of lemon, sprigs of fresh dill, and slices of pickled ginger in the bottom of the prepared foil pan. These aromatic ingredients will infuse the salmon with delightful flavors as it cooks.
-
Place the Salmon: Gently place the salmon fillet on top of the bed of aromatics in the foil pan.
-
Add Wine and Water: Pour a splash of white wine over the salmon, then fill the pan with water until the fish is completely submerged.
-
Cover and Vent: Cover the foil pan tightly with aluminum foil. Using a knife, poke several holes in the foil to allow steam to escape during cooking.
-
Bake: Place the prepared foil pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet. To check for doneness, gently insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish; if it flakes easily, it’s ready to be served.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the foil pan from the oven and carefully uncover it. Serve the poached salmon warm with your favorite side dishes or allow it to cool and enjoy it cold. Pair it with a tangy aioli or a creamy dill sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
