This is a wonderful healthy way to cook salmon that we make very often. What I add to the water before poaching varies depending on what I have on hand but my favorite includes orange and lemon slices along with much of what is mentioned here. For added touch we sometimes bush the finished salmon with fresh olive oil and garlic or butter and shallot.
