Method

Arrange salad leaves around the fish.

Pipe mayonnaise over and around the salmon before serving.

Place the salmon into a large roasting tin and cover with water.

Add the lemon juice, rinds, peppercorns, and bay leaves to the tin.

Bring the water to a boil and remove from heat immediately.

Set aside for 30 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and opaque.

Transfer the salmon to a platter and remove the skin from the top side.

Slice cucumber into semi-circles and layer over the salmon to mimic scales.
