Method

Layer cucumber slices over the salmon flesh to resemble scales.

Prepare the two mayonnaises and the paprika-dipped limes to serve alongside the fish.

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.
