Instructions
- Place the wine, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaf, peppercorns, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 300ml water in a large, deep frypan (big enough to hold the fish) over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then gently place salmon in the liquid. Remove the frypan from the heat and stand the salmon in the warm poaching liquid for 20 minutes or until cooked, but still a little rare in the centre.
- Remove salmon from the poaching liquid and place on a serving platter. Cool slightly while you make the salad.
- For the cucumber salad, whisk the lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar and fish sauce together in a small bowl until sugar has dissolved. Halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds, then thinly slice on an angle into thin crescents. In a bowl, toss cucumber with chilli, spring onion, mint and half the dressing.
- Scatter the cucumber salad over the salmon, drizzle with remaining dressing and serve with steamed parsley potatoes.
