5.	Remove the salmon from the poaching liquid and set aside. Discard the poaching liquid.
6.	In a small, clean saucepan, heat the orange juice over medium heat until it is reduced by half.
7.	Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter until it is fully incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
