1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
3
Lay the salmon in the baking dish, skin side down.
4
Coat with olive oil.
5
Liberally season salmon fillet with kosher salt.
6
Pour chardonnay and water over the fish.
7
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
8
To see if the salmon is fully cooked, cut into the fillet.
9
If the flesh flakes and the color is opaque, then its done.
10
Transfer the salmon fillet (without the poaching liquid) to a platter.
11
Cover and place in the refrigerator until its completely cooled.
12
When the salmon has cooled, in a separate bowl, whisk together creme fraiche, lemon juice and chopped chives.
13
Add the poached salmon to the bowl and smash to combine.
14
Do not overdo it, though, as you don't want the salmon to turn pasty.
