Steps

  • Place the salmon, peppercorns, bay leaves, lemon juice, whole lemon, and salt into a large deep sided pan.
  • Fill the pan with cold water until the salmon is just covered.
  • Cover the pan with tin foil and bring the water to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat immediately and allow the fish to cool completely in the liquid.
  • Remove the skin from the top half of the salmon.
  • Layer cucumber slices over the salmon flesh to resemble scales.
  • Prepare the two mayonnaises and the paprika-dipped limes to serve alongside the fish.
