Simply arrange thin slices of cucumber around the poached salmon, to look like this: http://www.2gourmaniacs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/poached-salmon.jpg Recipe here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/wholepoachedsalmonwi_93188

Well firstly, you have to steal the salmon from the Manor House stream in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the recipe, Chris.
Question Author
The salmon is already in the freezer, Stuey. I paid for it.
Only two answers, and Chris nets BA. On the scale of things it's a total travesty I tell you; a total travesty. But I won't intimate that there is something fishy in that coz I'm not like that at all, I'll have you know.
It sounds very Fanny Cradock to me.
It's spelt W H Y, not H O W

(Possibly W O U L D rather than D O too.)
Lol AOG, an answer that's to subtle for the dish!
Question Author
OG, salmon goes nicely with cucumber.
............and, hopefully, it will look as if I've made a bit of an effort. :-)
Au contraire. I must disagree, I have no idea how you can tolerate it. Cucumber is awful stuff which pollutes anything it touches with it's water carried taste. (Not to mention scent.) Salmon is a wonderful foodstuff, such great flavour. Putting one on the other is an act calculated to make great food untouchable. It's just so sad :-( Please don't do it.
Question Author
I like cucumber, OG!

I'm not a great fan of it myself.
Question Author
Sorry, Sandy. I still like cucumber.
I like it too.
Question Author
... lovely, crunchy, fresh tasting, refreshing, flavour enhancing food, with an intangible smell.
Question Author
... but do you do fish scales with it, Ummmm?
I love it too but know may don't - so when doing a whole salmon for a buffet table I don't add it.
^ many don't
Question Author
Mamya, if they don't like it, it is easily removed. I shall find cucumber slices, in all the plant pots, the day after Boxing Day!
