Add salmon, skin-side down, and cover with a lid. Gently poach for around 15 mins, or until flesh is opaque and cooked to your liking. Remove salmon and transfer to a baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour, or until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, to make the dill mayonnaise, place egg yolks, mustard and vinegar into a food processor. Process until smooth. With the motor still running, gradually add oil in a thin steady stream, until thickened. Fold in dill. Season.
- To serve, remove skin from salmon and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with watercress and lemon halves. Serve with dill mayonnaise.
