- 1 1/2 cups water

PREPARATION:
Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels; set aside. In large skillet, combine water, bouillon, white wine, lemon slices, onion, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring mixture to a boil. Add salmon steaks. Cover and simmer for 8-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when pierced with a fork. Remove fish from liquid and discard the poaching liquid. Cover and refrigerate fish until chilled; about 2 hours.
