Oven Poached Salmon is an easy way to make a show-stopping entrée. When cooked low and slow in the oven, salmon becomes so luxurious and has a flaky texture that melts in your mouth.

Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 300°F. 2 Place the salmon skin side down in a baking dish with high sides. 3 Pour the chicken stock into the baking dish, filling until about halfway up the salmon. Please note that this amount of liquid will depend on how thick your salmon is. Mine was about 2" thick. 4 Season the tops of the salmon with the salt-free creole seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the lemon wheels, too. 5 Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. 6 Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. If you have a piece of salmon that is thinner than 1" thick, it will take about half of this time, so check on it at the 20-minute mark.A note on cooking salmon: The USDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F. I like to remove mine from the oven at 135°F because it will continue to cook after it’s removed from heat, which will bring the temperature into the safe range. 8 Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before enjoying.View original recipe
