    This is a delicious way to poach salmon, thanks Emeril. My Salmon took about 5 minutes longer to cook. Flaky, delicious with an understated lovely favor. Prosecco subbed nicely for Champagne.

    This was my first attempt in poaching salmon/ I could not believe how incredibly moist this recipe offered! WOW! I substituted a sparkling wine (Andre' Spumante. I'm sure the champagne would have been wonderful, however, I happened to grab the wrong bottle. But....it ended up being a mistake in my favor. Great recipe! I will definitely be making this for guests. I made my own curry dipping sauce with real mayonnaise and curry powder to taste. Simple and delicious. Thanks Emeril!

    This was a great recipe! I thought I had dill in my spice cabinet, but didn't, so instead we used a large pinch each of thyme, rosemary, and tarragon, and it was the most tender, delicate, and delicious salmon that we've ever had! We did not make the vanilla sauce after reading some of the other reviews, however.

    I used Prosecco instead of champagne since I prefer the flavor, and it made the most wonderful poaching liquid ever. The salmon was perfectly cooked. The sauce however was not my favorite. The vanilla flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste. It wasn't bad by any means, but I guess I just prefer a more savory sauce with fish. I will be making the poached salmon via this method again, but will substitute a different sauce next time.

    This is an ideal poaching recipe. A few comments:

    1. You can substitute any sparkling wine (cava, prosecco, etc. or a very dry, light white wine for the champagne.

    2. For best results, spend the extra dollars on wild salmon -- farm raised salmon are simply too fatty.

    3. Skip the sauce and serve with a simple green salad for a very healthy, delicious and elegant meal.

    My mother -in -law does not even care for salmon and she ate every bite. My husband and I loved it, he did the poaching and I did the sauce.

    I had never cooked salmon before and I didn't think I that I liked it. I enjoyed this recipe so much I will definitely be making it again and again.

    An expensive recipe, but very tasty. The salmon was perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky. The champagne added a nice zing.
