EASY POACHED SALMON
In 46 years of marriage, we had never tasted salmon until a friend told me about poaching it in a low cooker. I tried it and got flaky, moist results with little fuss. I added some soy sauce for extra flavor. - Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Steps:
- Hollandaise: Finely grate 3/4 teaspoon zest from grapefruit, then squeeze 1/4 cup juice; strain. Transfer zest and juice to a small saucepan with egg yolks, vinegar, salt, and cayenne. Whisk together continuously over medium heat until warmed through and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not let curdle; if mixture begins to heat too quickly, lower heat.) Slowly whisk in oil; continue whisking until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of hollandaise; set aside.
- Salmon: Place grapefruit zest and juice in a large Dutch oven with broth, onion, fennel, salt, peppercorns, and 1 quart water. Bring to a simmer, then adjust heat as necessary to maintain broth temperature at 190 degrees on a thermometer. Cover and cook until fennel is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add fish to poaching liquid and simmer, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain broth temperature at 190 degrees on thermometer, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to serving plates alongside fennel, onion, and zest strips. Pour hollandaise over fish and garnish with cayenne. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Tips:
- When poaching the salmon, use a large saucepan so that the fish has plenty of room to swim. This will help ensure that the salmon cooks evenly and gently.
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan, place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the saucepan before adding the fish.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the salmon from the poaching liquid. This will help prevent the fish from breaking up.
- To make the hollandaise sauce, use fresh egg yolks and lemon juice. This will give the sauce a rich, creamy flavor.
- Be sure to whisk the sauce constantly over low heat until it thickens. This will prevent the sauce from curdling.
- If the sauce does curdle, simply remove it from the heat and whisk in a tablespoon of cold water. This will help to smooth out the sauce.
- Serve the poached salmon with the hollandaise sauce immediately. This will ensure that the fish is hot and flaky and the sauce is warm and creamy.
