Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Prepare the vinaigrette according to recipe #229445 by Chef Fordido.
- Pour wine into medium sized frying pan, add the Old Bay seasoning, then gently place the salmon into the pan. Turning burner to high, poach the salmon for about 4 minutes, turning the heat to medium, as the cooking action becomes vigorous. Gently turn salmon over to poach for another 4 minutes. Do not over cook, lest the salmon becomes dry in flavor, rather then moist.
- Meanwhile put all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, mix throughly and allow flavors to mingle before plating the salad.
- Place the salad on a plate, top with the poached salmon fillet. The salmon may be served warm, room temperature or cold. Enjoy!
