Cover with 1/4 inch of white wine

Does this mean that you pour in enough wine to cover the salmon by 1/4"? So that it is totally covered?

I am a little confused here. I have never poached anything so I obviously need help.

LOL You aren't the only one in need of help cooking! How long does it take for the wine to reduce??!

Just 1/4 inch or so in the dish. The wine steams the fish, doesn't have to cover it. Need to put plastic wrap over dish.

Need to ask Carlo if the wine used for the poaching can be used in the sauce or better to use fresh wine. I don't make a sauce myself.

You must use fresh wine, because the particular flavor is borne of the alcohol in the wine, and the poaching cooked off the previously use wine.
