poached salmon should be cooked to 131 degrees and then rested for 5 to 10 minutes... but it sucks always. instead buy wild from a good fishmonger and either pan sear, broil, or bilevel (sear then bake at high temp). if you absolutely love cheap crappy cuts of farmed salmon then consider En Papillot style of cooking it.

Cheers

You know, you took the time to cook your hubbie a meal and you learned a bit about poaching in the process. I'd say overcooked or not, it was a success! Believe me, I've served my hubby many a messed up meal in my day.

Salmon can be a bugger to cook. I have a tried & true recipe that still fails me from time to time. No idea why! At least your salmon photographed beautifully, even if was overcooked 🙂

You know – I don't know what temp it's supposed to be either! But this does sound wonderful – it must have been if it was still good after being overcooked.

Fran - good suggestion on the salmon salad. If I make the same mistake again, I'll definitely try that!

kitchen flavours - Thanks for your encouragement! :)

Eliana - It's nice to know everyone has bad kitchen days :)

Wendy - oh no! That wasn't my intention at all. I promise it's so much easier than I made it sound. Just use a thermometer to tell when your fish is done, and don't boil it - just gently simmer, and you'll be fine. :) Pretty much just don't do what I did. :)
