Whole Poached Salmon
1 whole salmon
1 chopped onion 
3 bay leaves
1 lemon, cut into chunks
sea and black pepper
Method
1. Place the salmon in your fish poacher
2. Add enough cold water to cover the fish (it must be covered). Add the onion, bay leaves, lemon and a good pinch of salt and a little black pepper.
3. Cover with a lid, and bring to the boil on the stove. Put the fish poacher across two rings of the hob. Once it is boiling, turn off the heat and allow the fish to stand in the water until cool.
4. Remove the salmon and place onto a board. Remove the skin and place on a large flat serving dish. Serve with a bowl of lemon wedges and some mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce.
