Chef’s Tips
Avoid removing the lid on your skillet until after 10 minutes. Removing the lid during cooking will allow much of the steam to escape. The steam plays a major role in cooking our poached salmon, so it’s super important to leave it be.You can save the poaching liquid for use later on! The liquid in this recipe will be full of flavor and taste delicious in place of fish stock in soups and/or chowders.Use a meat thermometer to ensure your fillets are fully cooked through. To do this, insert the thermometer into the thickest end of a poached salmon fillet to check the temperature. Once the temperature reads 125° Fahrenheit, then your salmon is fully cooked and safe to eat!
