instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200F.
2. Combine the water, wine, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, ginger and green onions in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
3. When it's barely come to a simmer, add the salmon filets. Gently simmer until the salmon is just done in the center, 8-10 minutes. Remove the salmon with a slotted spoon and place it on an oven-safe plate to warm in the oven.
4. Skim the green onions and any bits of fish from the poaching liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the liquid to 1/2 cup or so then remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the butter. Drizzle the sauce over the salmon and serve.
