Simply Poached Salmon

Delicious, easy way to poach salmon- would make a good vegetable stock as well without the fish. I did this with sea bass and it worked just as well.

• Ready In: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 6  cups water
• 2  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1  small onion, chopped

Directions

1. In a large pot or deep skillet, combine all the ingredients except the salmon. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
