Chop the tail into a “V” form with a sharp cutting knife. Put the fish on a big part of double fullness aluminum foil.  Place the bay leaves, peppercorns and lemon in the cavity. Place the actual foil all-around the fish and up the edges. Pour on the water and wine. Seal the aluminum foil parcel tightly and stick in a large roasting container.

3. Making use of the sharp knife or kitchen scissors, remove the head and tail. Leave away if you desire to use them in your exhibit. Turn the fish upside down on to a table, so the flattest part is uppermost. Remove off the bottom aluminum foil and the skin. Using a sharp knife, gently clean off any kind of excess dark brown flesh from the pink salmon.

4. Make an incision straight down the back fillet, drawing the flesh apart from the main bone. Stick the fillet on a serving dish. Take out the next fillet and also put next to the other one to create the foundation of the dish.

5. Cautiously take out the central spine. Put the other half of the fish with the skin even now intact, on top of the base fish. Peel off the skin and any brown bits. Replaced the head and tail if making use of it.

6. Lay the cucumber slices on top of the salmon starting up at the tail end so they will look like scales. Garnish along with the herbs and serve together with mayonnaise.
