Wine-Poached Salmon is simple and quick to prepare. You can use any seasoning you like here, but thyme works especially well. We are using a dry white wine (sauvignon blanc) for the poaching liquid. Always use a good quality wine to cook with (if you wouldn’t want to drink it, you probably don’t want to flavor your food with it). This is also good with a little lemon zest thrown in.
