peppercorns, salt, onion and just enough hot water to cover the fish.
Cover and poach on top of the stove (if using fry pan) over low heat, for
10-12 minutes or in 325F oven (in baking dish) for the same length of time
or until the salmon flakes.
Allow the fish to cool in the liquid. Drain well and remove the skin.
Arrange on platter, then cover completely with the following sauce. Serve
with a cucumber salad.

Sauce Verte:
Chop the vegetables coarsely and put in blender with lemon juice. Cover
and blend until it turns into a sort of mush with small bits of this and
that in it. Add the mayonnaise and blend.
If you don’t have a blender, chop the ingredients very finely and blend
them into the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, crushing them as much as
possible to give color to the sauce.
