ISO: ISO Joe: question about Salmon Rillettes recipe

[amanda_pennsylvania]

It says to poach the salmon until opaque; do you know about how long that will take? Just a ballpark estimate will do...thanks much!

The old "10 minutes per inch of thickness" guideline would apply, but that's just an estimate.

Check by cutting into it after about 5 minutes, and check again in a few minutes.

For this recipe, it's much better to have the salmon undercooked than overcooked. The interior should be less opaque than the exterior--think of a medium-rare steak.

I hope you like it! It's one of my favorites.

Ok, thanks Joe. I'll let you know how it turns out.
