Method

Place the whole salmon into a fish kettle or a large roasting tin.

Cover the fish completely with cold water and add the onion, bay leaves, vinegar, lemon, salt, and pepper.

Cover the vessel with a lid or foil and bring it to a boil on the stove.

Turn off the heat once boiling and let the fish stand in the water until completely cool.

Remove the salmon from the water and carefully scrape off the skin.

Transfer the salmon to a serving dish and serve with lemon wedges and hollandaise.
