Quick Skillet Poached Salmon

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a quick and easy recipe for poached salmon for those busy work nights.

I grew up on the bay of Lake Superior. Mom and Dad used to take us down to the ore dock to fish for Walleye, Perch and Northern. It was fun to watch the bobbers go down when a fish took the bait. We didn’t always catch something, but spent a great afternoon on a sunny day with the family.

This recipe would work for cod as well as salmon. For dessert, I recommend chocolate eclair cake.
