Directions
To prepare relish, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.
Using a pan large enough to hold salmon steaks, bring water to a boil and add peppercorns, lemon slices, parsley, onion, and bay leaves.
Lower heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and let flavors infuse for 5 minutes. Add salmon steaks and make sure they are covered with water (add additional water if needed).
Cook, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part (minimum internal temperature of 145 °F). Never let water boil or fish will toughen.
Serve each steak with relish.
