Poached Salmon in White Wine

There are 2 dish that I feel can never go wrong: 1. Pork. and 2. Salmon.
The meat itself is succulent & delicious enough, that you hardly need any more additional ingredients, to make it better!

I usually cook salmon just with salt & sprinkle of lime, and I'm already in heaven! But this time, I looked up for poached salmon, with a twist (white wine). Hope this one turns out alright!

This poached salmon recipe is one of the first recipes my father taught me a few years ago. It's his favorite way to prepare salmon because not only can it be prepared in 10 minutes or less, but it doesn't stink up the house the way broiling or frying salmon can, and it tastes simply delicious.


From http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/poached_salmon/, I quote:
