Combine all ingredients except the salmon in a small, deep frying pan. Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently five minutes. Add the salmon. Cover. Poach approximately 10 minutes, or until the flesh separates easily with a fork and the color is the same throughout. Do not overcook!
NOTE: Cook a thinly sliced potato or green vegetable with the fish for a one-pot dinner.
