2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Season Salmon:

   • Sprinkle capers, chopped dill weed, sliced onion, and lemon juice evenly over the salmon fillet.

5. Cover:

   • Cover the fish either with a lid or with another sheet of tin foil.

6. 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.

7. 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 🍚, steamed veggies 🥦, or a crisp salad 🥗.

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.

Serving Suggestions:

• A bed of fluffy jasmine rice 🍚 makes a perfect base for the tender poached salmon.
• For a light and refreshing side, try steamed asparagus spears 🌱 or a crisp green salad 🥗.
• Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill 🌿 for a beautiful presentation.
