poached salmon

Gently cooked catch

Poached salmon is salmon cooked by simmering gently in liquid—usually water, wine, or court-bouillon—rather than by direct heat.

The method keeps the fish moist and delicate: We served poached salmon with dill sauce.

It appears often at brunches, buffets, and formal dinners, sometimes chilled with accompaniments.
