This takes salmon to a whole new level!
I lived in the Pacific Northwest for the past 8 years, and I was always looking for new ways to prepare salmon. Poached salmon with a Hollandaise sauce is WONDERFUL (& easy!). Here's my recommendation for poaching liquid:
2 Quarts water
3 cups dry white wine
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 small onions, quartered
3 carrots, chopped
3 sprigs fresh parsley
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. black peppercorns, cracked

Combine all ingredients in the poacher & bring to a boil with salmon (whole or pieces) in place. Reduce heat to a very low simmer for about 1 hour. Lift fish & serve with Hollandaise sauce.
Enjoy!
