FOR SALMON: Combine 2 cups water, 1 cup wine, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 10 peppercorns, 6 dill sprigs, 1 bay leaf and 2 teaspoons salt in each of 2 large skillets over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally until sugar and salt dissolve. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 6 salmon fillets to each skillet; cover and simmer 3 minutes. Turn salmon over. Cover and simmer until just opague in center, about 3 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Divide salmon and marinade into two 13x9x2-inch glass baking dishes. Refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep refrigerated.) Using large spatula, lift salmon from marinade; transfer to plates. Remove skin, if desired. Garnish with tomatoes and cucumber slices. Serve with horseradish sauce. |
