Default Poaching Question

Checking the definition of poaching, it seems that heat is constantly applied to the poaching liquid, and the fish (or other ingredients) are slowly cooked by simmering. When I "poach" salmon fillets, the fish is put into the hot water off the heat, and left to cook for an appropriate time. Is this technique also called poaching, or is it called something else?
