Ingredients
2 skinless salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine salmon with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add juice from 1 lemon, leek or onion, celery, and bay leaf . Set over medium heat and bring poaching liquid to 170 degrees F, using an instant-read thermometer if you have one; otherwise, bring liquid to just below a bare simmer. Adjusting heat to maintain water temperature, cook until salmon flakes easily when pressed, about 6 minutes. Drain, discard aromatics, and transfer salmon to a mixing bowl. Using your fingers, shred salmon roughly.
