Poached Salmon Fillets

Growing up ‘Friday’ night was always a special fish dinner but now any night can be a special fish dinner.  Simple, so fast and nutritious.  I must say I generally prefer ‘catch of the day’ whether it be from the boat or at the seafood market but if not generally the local grocer will have a great selection of various types of salmon.  I think I would eat fish about 4-5 days a week but the prices are so high it is only 2-3 days.
