What each ingredient does

Salmon cutlet
Provides the main protein, which firms and turns opaque as it heats through.
Vegetables
Provide the bulk and texture of the dish, softening as they boil until tender.

The step that matters

Drain and dry the salmon cutlet as much as possible. Surface moisture dilutes flavor and slows any contact with the hot liquid, so patting the salmon dry helps it heat evenly and keeps its texture firm rather than watery.
