Seafood Poaching

A gentle cooking technique where delicate proteins, such as Salmon, are submerged in a liquid substrate (e.g., Cider, Wine, Stock, or Water) maintained at a temperature just below boiling. This method is designed to preserve moisture and structural integrity, avoiding the texture changes associated with high-heat methods like Pan Frying.
