In a 3-quart pan, heat the chicken stock to a simmer. Drop in the celery, carrot, leek, and turnip until tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables from the stock and keep warm. Poach the salmon fillets in the stock for 4 minutes, turn and poach for 3 minutes more until firm. (The salmon should not flake or fall apart.)
Transfer the salmon to warm soup plates, Surround and sprinkle attractively with the poach vegetables and chopped parsley. Ladle stock over salmon. Garnish plates with the rock/coarse salt, pickles, and Horseradish Sauce.
