1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180°C (350°F/ Gas 4).
2. Gently rinse the salmon well under cold running water and pat dry inside and out with paper towels.

4. Brush a large, double-layered piece of foil with oil and lay the salmon on the foil.
5. Sprinkle with the white wine and arrange the bay leaves over the top.
6. Fold the foil over and wrap the salmon tightly, ensuring that it is totally covered.
7. Place the salmon in a shallow baking fish in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
8. Turn the oven off and leave the salmon in the oven for 45 minutes with the door close.

10. Carefully flip the salmon onto the serving plate and peel away the skin frmo the other side.
11. Pull out the fins and any visible bones.

13. To make the hollandaise, melt the butter in a saucepan, skim any froth from the surface of the butter and allow to cool to room temperature.
14. Mix the yolks with 2 tbsp water and whisk for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is pale and foamy.
15. Place in a small saucepan over very low heat and whisk for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg mixture is thick and the whisk leaves a trail - do not let the pan get too hot or the yolks will scramble.
