Method

In a large saucepan or high-sided skillet, combine 5 cups water, vinegar, 3 sprigs rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil.


Reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Season both sides of salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt.


Place salmon skin-side down in the pan of simmering liquid and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a light simmer.


Cook until salmon is just opaque in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully transfer salmon to a serving dish. (Discard the poaching liquid.)


Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, remaining rosemary sprig and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.


Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes.


Remove rosemary sprig and discard. Serve sauce over poached salmon and garnish with fresh rosemary.
