For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the skillet along with the water and lemon juice. Ensure the salmon fillets are of uniform thickness for even cooking. Serve the Pan-Poached Salmon Piccata with a side of asparagus, roasted vegetables, or a bed of pasta for a complete meal. A crisp white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, makes an excellent pairing. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a small amount of cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water) during the reduction step.
