Ingredients:

Serving

2 bay leaves
1 tbsp kosher salt
10 black peppercorns
2 cups white wine
2 lb skin-on wild salmon fillet pieces (1 to 1 1/2 in. thick )
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
5 tbsp champagne vinegar
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp chopped basil
sea salt to taste
2 large bunches watercress , root ends trimmed , leaving stems intact
10 small yellow-skinned new potatoes , boiled until tender and cut in half
4 hard-cooked eggs, cut into quarters
1/4 lb haricots verts ( french green beans)
1/2 cup pitted nicoise olives
3 roma tomatoes , cut into lengthwise wedges

Directions:

To a large roasting pan, add bay leaves, kosher salt, peppercorns, and wine. Add salmon and enough water to cover.
Remove salmon and set aside; bring liquid to a boil, covered. Reduce to a simmer, then gently slide salmon into liquid and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, covered, until salmon is just opaque.
While salmon is cooking, make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, mustard, and vinegar. Gradually whisk in oil until dressing is emulsified. Whisk in herbs and season with sea salt.
Using 2 spatulas, remove salmon, place on a cooling rack set on a sheet pan, and chill 10 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Discard poaching liquid.
Remove salmon from refrigerator and break into large pieces, discarding skin. On a very large serving platter, top watercress with pieces of fish, potatoes, eggs, green beans, olives, and tomatoes. Drizzle dressing over everything and serve immediately, accompanied by crusty bread.
