This gets a 5 just for the ease and simplicity of the dish. It is a wonderful way to cook salmon, does not spoil the wonderful flavour of the fish and the fish cooks beautifully. I served mine with a dill caper cream sauce, just preference and it went really well with the fish. The poaching liquid imparts a real subtle flavour to the fish, yet you get that lovely salmon taste with every bite. Whether you serve with a cucumber sauce or dill or whatever your favourite is, they are the perfect accompaniment to this lovely poached salmon dish. Thanks MrsJ for sharing
