  • Use a gentle poaching liquid. A champagne poaching liquid is perfect for salmon, as it adds flavor without overpowering the fish.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot or warm, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating.
  • Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
