For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh thyme or a bay leaf to the poaching liquid. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Serve this dish with a side of steamed asparagus, quinoa, or a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal. Leftover poached salmon can be flaked and used in salads, sandwiches, or pasta dishes. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavors of the dish.
