Dill Poached Salmon

Recipe as written is OK. Very healthy but bland. Good base to build. Will add either garlic, wine, onion etc to improve flavor. I will use stock for soup

Good recipe. Added pepper, lemon juice, shallots and garlic and used dried dill (1.5 tablespoons) and it came out with a good amount of flavor.

Having a hubby who is an avid fisherman I am always on the lookout for new ways to make salmon. That being said, I have never poached it and was a little leery of it. We both really enjoyed this recipe! Unfortunately I only had dried dill on hand but I’m sure it would of been that much better using fresh. It was simple and quick to make! I will be definitely be making this again.

dill did not come across at all. Boring at best.

This is a great and simple recipe for a high quality piece of salmon. The dill flavor is extremely subtle, so you’ll want to have great fish so that the flavor of the salmon takes center stage. I sprinkled the fish with a bit of salt and pepper before putting it in the pot, but made no other substitutions/changes. I served it with roasted fennel and scapes and orzo with feta.

I did not like this recipe very much at all. My fiance, however did. I didn’t like the texture very much. This recipe wasn’t for me who is someone that is not a big fan of fish

Great recipe! I used dried dill since I didn’t have fresh (just sprinkled some into the stock) and it worked well. Nice, easy way to prepare salmon. The time was perfect for me even at a high altitude.

Four stars because it was really moist but it had little flavor. I will add my own touch next time I make this.

Very easy to make, and VERY tasty! I used about a tablespoon and a half of dill herb paste instead of fresh dill [because my local grocery store is SMALL!] but it stil turned out very well. HOWEVER: This is not a powerfully flavoured dish. The dill flavour is very subtle … but it’s still delicious!!

WOW! So easy and very good. I used Steelhead Salmon. Perfect flavor.

As a rather reluctant dieter, I’ve been trying to find healthy alternatives to a Big Mac with Fries. I don’t care for salmon, but tried this recipe in an effort to be good. I was astounded by the rich flavor! I added some Chardonnay and a handful of chopped dill to the poaching broth, which tasted too good to waste, so I had it as a first course. Far, far better than grilled salmon in my book!

Taste good, clean, and healthy. added salt, pepper, lemon juice. Used dry dill and some italian seasoning. Next time, i’ll add some garlic.

This is a wonderful recipe. No changes necessary. Its fast and flavorful.

Not bad. I added some lemon juice like one of the other reviewers said, and lots of dill. It was super easy and fast, but the flavor is just okay.

Very easy and fast. A keeper!

Wonderfully easy and quick!!! I didn’t have any kitchen twine so I just threw the bunch of dill in the pot. It was delicious to have the dill sprinkled over the salmon with each bite. I served with brussel sprouts sauteed in olive oil w/ salt and pepper then steamed them for a minute.

I can’t believe how delicious something so healthy could taste! I followed the recipe but also added fresh garlic and chopped shallots to the broth. It turned out flavorful and juicy. Next time I may try to thicken the broth leftovers and add some capers, then use as a sauce over pasta. My boyfriend who is very picky about fish said this is one of his top 10 favorite dishes.

As others suggested I added flavor to the recipe by slicing onions and lemon pepper seasoning. My family loves salmon and said it was their new favorite preparation. Make sure and have good bread to dip in the poaching broth!

This is especially good with cucumber relish on top.

I substituted a tablespoon of dry dill for the fresh, and added 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. The end result was enjoyable

I followed the recipe without modification. The texture of the salmon was nice and moist. But the taste was, well, nonexistent. It was soo bland! Salt and a lot of pepper had to be added at the table.
