Directions
To prepare sauce:
Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, cut cucumber into 1-inch pieces.
Put in food processor or blender and blend until completely pureed.
Pour into a sieve and push through with a spoon to extract all juices.
Add mayonnaise and whisk until creamy.
Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours
To prepare salmon:
Add bay leaf, peppercorns and enough water to a medium skillet to fill to a 1 inch depth. Bring to a boil.
Add salmon. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 5 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when tested with fork.
Remove salmon from liquid.
Put about 2 tablespoons of sauce on a serving plate. Place 1 salmon steak on top of sauce. Top with 4 to 5 tablespoons of sauce.
Garnish with finely chopped cucumber and seeded tomato.
