Olive oil poached salmon

Mediterranean 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook


  1. Preheat the oven to 120°C, lowest gas mark.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Slice the head of garlic in half. Zest the lemon. Slice the onion and baby fennel.
  3. Pour the olive oil into an oven-safe deep-roasting dish. Add in the garlic, dill, lemon zest, onion and fennel. Place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin side down, into the olive oil mixture. Ensure that the salmon is fully submerged in the olive oil.
  4. Transfer the pan to the oven. Poach the salmon for approx. 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Using a spatula, transfer the poached salmon fillets to serving plates.
  5. Strain the poaching liquid and drizzle over the salmon fillets.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
