Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 pounds Alaska salmon about 1" - 1 1/2" thickness
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce regular or low-sodium
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 " - 1 1/2" knob of fresh ginger grated (ginger is easiest grated if frozen before use)
  • 3 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Prep salmon if necessary. I leave the skin on, but you may remove for poaching if you'd like. Remove any bones if necessary.
  • Combine water, soy sauce, garlic, ginger & honey in a medium saucepan. You want the salmon to be just about fully immersed in the liquid - so choose an appropriate size pan. The salmon can be poached in batches if necessary.
  • Over low heat, bring liquid to just below a simmer. You're aiming to see just a few bubbles here and there. Maintain temperature and let liquid cook for a few minutes for flavors to combine.
  • Add salmon. Cook for about 5 minutes, maintaining liquid temp. Salmon should be opaque thoughout. Gently remove.
  • Thicker pieces of salmon may need to cook for an additional minute or two.
  • Serve each piece of salmon with a generous amount of poaching liquid spooned on top.
