Sockeye SalmonPoached Salmon with Mustard Compote
    Fish:

    1 entire Sockeye Salmon (5 to 6 pounds, fresh caught), cleaned, tail on, head gone.

    1 BIG onion, sliced

    2 whole bay leaves

    5 black peppercorns, whole

    2 allspice, whole

    3/4 c. Morton's iodized salt

    Sauce:

    1 c. Hellman's real mayo

    1/2 c. sour cream (good quality, folks. Don't get cheap on me!)

    2 tbsp Grey Poupon mustard

    1 tbsp mustard seed, course grain

    1/3 c. Dill, fresh and finely chopped

    1 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped fine

    1/2 tsp lemon zest, grated to a fine powder

Grab the fish by the head and let it know who the boss is.

Going from head to tail, slice the fish across the body so you have 3" steaks; should be about 4. When you hit the backbone, tap the top of the knife blade with something heavy to break through. Discard the tail unless you have a use for it.

In a 10 quart pot, bring eight (8) quarts of the finest tap water available to a rolling boil.

Add the sliced onion, the bay leaves, the whole peppercorns, and the whole allspice to the pot.

Last but not least, add the salt.

Throw in the Sockeye steaks and cover the pot and turn off the flame.

Let sit (do NOT stir or mix in any way at all) until your Sockeye begins to separate from the bone. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes at least, so be patient because good things come to those who wait, remember?

Transfer fish to a shallow holding pan.

Cool the Sockeye until you can handle it comfortably; maybe 8 minutes or so. If the fish is too warm, it will crumble; too cool and the bones will be hard to remove.

Remove the meat in pieces as large as you can.

Throw out the skin and bones and arrange the fish on a platter for serving. DELICIOUS!
