- Poach salmon in oil, being careful to keep oil temperature consistently at 170 degrees
- Depending on thickness, salmon should take approx. 7-8 minutes to cook through
- Removing the salmon at approx. 130 – 135 degrees is ideal if you let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, covered, before serving
- Thinner filets and wild-caught salmon will cook more quickly and can dry out, so be sure not to overcook
- Serve hot or chill completely to serve with your favorite salad
