Poached Salmon With Dill Mayonnaise

Serves 8 - 10
  • 1 51/2-lb (2. 75-kg) salmon, cleaned
  • salt and black peppercorns
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) white vinegar
  • mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
TO GARNISH
  • 1/4-0Z (7-g) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 lemons
  • 1/2 lb (250 g) shrimp, cooked and peeled dill sprigs
  • small pieces of red pepper

STEPS :

  1. Lift out the rack from a poacher and set aside. Half fill the poacher with cold water and add 2 tbsp salt, 12 black peppercorns, the bay leaves, onion, and vinegar.
  2. Put the salmon on the rack and lower into the poacher. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 minute only. Remove from the heat, cover, and leave to stand for about 2 hours, until the fish is just warm.
  3. Lift the rack and salmon out of the poacher. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve. Cover the salmon with a large piece of plastic wrap and flip the fish over onto the plastic wrap. Bone and skin the salmon (see box, below). Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Reserve 2 tbsp of the mayonnaise. Add the dill to the remaining mayonnaise, put into a serving bowl, and chill until ready to serve.
  5. Make an aspic by following the gelatin package instructions, using 2 cups (600 ml) of the cooking liquid. Arrange the cucumber slices over the fish to represent scales. When the aspic has just started to thicken, brush a thin glaze over the fish and cucumber. Leave to set, then brush another layer of aspic over the fish and cucumber.
  6. Cut lengthwise grooves in the lemons with a small knife, cut in half lengthwise, and slice. Garnish the salmon with the lemon slices, shrimp, reserved mayonnaise, dill sprigs, and red pepper. Serve with mayonnaise.
