Gently place salmon, skin side up, in poaching liquid in skillet. Simmer, flipping once halfway through, until just cooked through and a thermometer inserted into center of fillets registers 110°F to 115°F, 6 to 8 minutes depending on thickness, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a bare simmer. Carefully transfer salmon to a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
