Advice

When making poached salmon, one of the most important things to keep in mind is to not overcook it. Salmon is very delicate and can overcook in a matter of minutes. To ensure the salmon is cooked correctly, place it in a pan of cold salted water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Once the water starts to bubble, set a timer for three minutes. After three minutes, check the salmon to make sure it is cooked to your desired doneness. If it's not cooked enough, simmer for an additional one to two minutes. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the pan and serve it immediately.
