Close the fish. In a saute pan, heat white wine. Add shallot puree and bay leaf. Place the fish in the saute pan (belly down) and bake in a 350 - 400 F oven for 20 minutes. When fish is cooked, remove from pan, remove the skin and reserve in a warm place. Heat juices in saute pan for a couple of minutes. Strain juices into a saucepan containing a wine butter sauce (see page 28).

Garnish with cucumber, tomato, chives, salmon eggs, and crayfish tails (boiled).
