I love how easy it is to make this dish ahead of time. I often poach the salmon and make the vinaigrette the night before, and then I just assemble the salad in the morning. It's a great way to save time on busy weeknights.

I'm always looking for ways to cook salmon in a healthy way. This recipe fits the bill perfectly. The poaching method keeps the salmon moist and flavorful, and the citrus vinaigrette adds a healthy dose of vitamin C.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I often make a big batch of poached salmon on the weekend, and then I use it throughout the week in salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes.
