Poached Salmon on Corn, Tomato and Arugula Salad

Lovely, light summer salad...a great combination of flavors with the grilled corn and the arugula. I serve this with Basil Aioli (recipe to follow) on the side. The salmon can be poached with the enclosed stock recipe or baked or grilled or whatever you like. I think poached is pretty and simple. I usually poach in a stock, so I enclosed the recipe, it isn't necessary to the recipe if you chose a different way.
