Tips:

For the freshest flavor, use wild-caught salmon if possible.
To ensure even cooking, use a shallow poaching pan that is large enough to accommodate the salmon fillets in a single layer.
Do not overcrowd the pan, or the salmon will not cook evenly.
Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. It is done when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Do not overcook the salmon, or it will become dry and tough.
For a richer sauce, use a combination of butter and olive oil.
Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
If desired, add chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, to the sauce.
Serve the salmon immediately with the sauce.
