Poached Salmon with Vegetables

Makes 4 servings

---

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets (or 2 pounds whole salmon)
2/3 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
1 cup green beans, trimmed (or 1 cup asparagus)
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup yellow or green zucchini, sliced in quarters
1 cup green pepper, diced
2 teaspoons basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup white wine
black pepper to taste
lemon slices for garnish

Wash and prepare vegetables according to ingredient list.

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a skillet, combine chicken broth, green beans, carrots, basic and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat - 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini, bell peppers and wine. Simmer for 1 minute.

Season salmon with pepper. Place salmon over vegetables in a roasting pan (place fish skin-side up).

Cover and bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Fish is done when it flakes easily with fork and is uniform pink throughout.

Serve with lemon slices.
