Poached Salmon

Here in the Pacific Northwest it’s salmon season! Yippee, hubby is out on the river having a great time with his friends and the kids and we get fresh fish any time he catches them. lol

I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. Sometimes we just don’t want to grill again. So here is a slightly different way to prepare your salmon and get some veggies in the mix. One stop cooking is always appreciated.

Ingredients:
Salmon filets (allow 6 ounces per person)
1 carrot, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 slices lemon
Several sprigs of fresh parsley
1/2 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 cup dry white wine
Juice of half a lemon

Warm Up for Exercise

No matter what you are told, warming up is a necessary part of working out. Not warming up can put yourself at higher risk of an injury. Is it really worth injuring yourself just to show you are ‘tough’ and do not need to warm up?

Start by just focussing on your breathing as this is vital when working out. Getting familiar with your breathing rate will help to focus you and get you ready for exercise. Try breathing through your nose slowly and regularly to begin with.
