👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large shallow pan, combine water or vegetable broth with lemon slices, dill sprigs, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Carefully place the salmon fillet into the simmering liquid, ensuring it is fully submerged. Reduce heat to low, ensuring the liquid remains at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil.
3. Poach the salmon for 8-12 minutes, depending on its thickness, until it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook.
4. Gently remove the poached salmon from the liquid using a slotted spatula and transfer it to a plate. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh dill and a lemon wedge if desired.
