Instructions
- 1
Place the salmon fillet in a medium skillet or saucepan and add enough cold water to just cover. Season the water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low and poach until the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily when pressed with a fork, about 8–12 minutes depending on thickness.

Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove and discard the skin if present, then flake the flesh into large chunks with a fork.
