Simple Poached Salmon

This simple poached salmon is a masterclass in gentle cooking, ensuring the fish remains incredibly moist and infused with subtle aromatics. By using a slow cooker to maintain a steady, low heat, the salmon absorbs the delicate notes of dry white wine, fresh lemon, and dill without the risk of becoming dry or tough. It is a sophisticated yet effortless way to prepare fish that works equally well for a nutritious midweek meal or an elegant weekend lunch.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The poaching liquid creates a light, fragrant finish that requires no heavy sauces, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced diet. Enjoy it warm alongside steamed seasonal greens and new potatoes, or serve it chilled over a crisp garden salad for a refreshing summer meal.
