Eog Cothi Pob
Baked Salmon
1 large salmon
1/2 C butter (2 sticks)
1/2 cucumber, peeled & thinly sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1 egg yolk
2 TBS lemon juice
Salt & black pepper to taste
Pinch of paprika
Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Wash salmon under cold water before removing head and tail; trim, dry and slice into steaks. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil; smear with butter. Arrange salmon steaks on foil; season with salt and black pepper to taste, and place a pat of butter on top of each salmon steak. Cover with more foil and bake for about twenty minutes, or until fish is fully cooked. Peel and thinly slice cucumber; add to a skillet and sauté in butter until tender. Set aside. In the top vessel of a double boiler, combine egg yolk and lemon juice; season with salt, black pepper and paprika. Add water to bottom vessel of double boiler and simmer gently while adding 1/4 C (1 stick) of butter a little at a time, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. If sauce thickens too quickly, add a small measure of hot water to thin sauce. Arrange cooked salmon on a large serving platter; place cucumber around fish. Pour egg sauce over the top and garnish with sliced lemon. Serve.
