Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the salmon in the wine and lemon juice for about 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have dry white wine, a mix of chicken broth and a splash of vinegar can work as a substitute. Fresh dill can replace dried dill weed for a more vibrant taste. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or asparagus for added texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen salmon fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen salmon fillets. Just make sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before cooking to ensure even cooking and better texture. Adjust the cooking time slightly if they are still partially frozen.
What can I substitute for dry white wine?
If you prefer not to use wine, you can substitute it with chicken broth mixed with a little lemon juice or white grape juice. This will provide a similar acidity and flavor profile without the alcohol.
How do I know when the salmon is fully cooked?
The salmon is fully cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. If you're unsure, using a food thermometer can help ensure it's cooked safely while remaining moist.
