Prepare Salmon:
- If using a fish poacher: Place the tray in the poacher, add 1/4 cup of water to the tray, and then lay your salmon fillet in the tray with the skin side down.
- If you don’t have a fish poacher: Use any oven-safe pan large enough to hold your salmon. Crumple a medium-sized sheet of tin foil and place it in the pan. Lay your salmon fillet on the foil, skin side down.
-
Add Water:
- Pour enough water into the tray or pan to come up to the edge of the foil, without spilling onto the fish. This will be approximately 1/3 cup of water.
-
Season Salmon:
- Sprinkle capers, chopped dill weed, sliced onion, and lemon juice evenly over the salmon fillet.
-
Cover:
- Cover the fish either with a lid or with another sheet of tin foil.
-
Bake:
- Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-20 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
- For rare salmon: Cook until you see white liquid emerging from the fish, indicating that the fish oil is cooked. The exterior will be pinky white, while the interior will be peachy pink.
- For more well-done salmon: Cook until the fish is uniformly pinky white throughout.
- Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-20 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
-
Serve:
- Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and place it on a serving platter.
- Leave the onions, capers, and dill on top of the salmon for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve with fresh lemon slices on the side for those who enjoy a squeeze of citrus on their fish.
- This poached salmon pairs wonderfully with rice π, steamed veggies π₯¦, or a crisp salad π₯.
Tips & Notes:
- Fresh dill weed can be frozen in a plastic bag to preserve its flavor.
- Adjust the quantities of ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
- This recipe is versatile, so feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
