Categories: Fish

2 Salmon steaks or fillets
Salt and pepper
2 c Water; white wine or clam
-juice, or a combination
1/2 ts Dried dill
1 tb Unsalted butter

Arrange salmon steaks in a single layer in a shallow skillet. Season with
salt and pepper. Add enough liquid to completely cover the fish. Add
herbs. Slowly bring liquid barely to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover
the skillet and simmer until the top of the salmon looks opaque, 2-3
