EOG COTHI O'R FFWRN Wash the salmon in salted water, dry, trim and cut into
steaks. Line a roasting tin with baking foil and coat the foil with butter.
Place the fish steaks on the foil. Season with salt and pepper and top each
with a knob of butter. Cover with foil and bake in a fairly hot oven
(400/F. or Mark 6) for 20-25 minutes. Peel and slice the cucumber and saute
gently in butter in a saucepan. The Sauce
: Whisk the egg yolks, vinegar and seasoning in a basin over hot
water until the sauce thickens. Add 2 oz. butter, a small piece at a time.
If the sauce becomes too thick add a little hot water. When the fish is
cooked, place it on a large plate, and surround with the cucumber slices.
Serve with the egg sauce.
