No, I would not have eaten it (I poach salmon, and I eat salmon sashimi - regularly):
First, what you describe is salmon that was not cooked through, as proper poaching would have done.
Second, the uncooked center means it was heated but not brought up to full temperature and likely it was then left to cool: warmed raw fish is a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty stuff. 48 hours worth.
Third, anyone who is so careless as to undercook fish likely has hygiene habits commensurate with their attention to basics, and probably contaminated the fish by handling it.
and yes, I would have complained to the store as well as the state.
REQ stuffing for game hensI have game hens I'd like to roast for tomorrow's dinner. I've done them before with a bread stuffing and we loved the hens but hated the stuffing...
Why the state? If the store's help would try to foist off the sauce as you describe, and also sell you undercooked fish as you describe, they need a visit from the state to jack up their practices before they get someone really sick.
And I would bet your sister DID get sick from undercooked-poorly handled salmon,
Note - If you want to cook salmon slightly under done (half-butt-"sashimi"-"trendy" style) you had best cook the damn thing less than a half-hour before serving, and if you want it cold, chill it in a flavored ice bath or in the freezer.
Hmmm.. Overpriced watery sauce, under-poached fish, sick sister -- overreacting?
No.
