Put 4 cups of water, 1½ teaspoons of salt, and a slice of lemon in a pot wide enough to hold the salmon. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the salmon to the pot. Return to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes at a bare simmer.
When the salmon is just cooked through, remove it from poaching liquid and put it in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
Once it has cooled to touch, break the salmon gently into chunks.
Add the salmon to the bowl with the celery, onions, and capers. Gently toss to combine.
Serve as is, or over mixed greens or butter lettuce, and enjoy!
