To Boil a Whole or Part of a Salmon.
Ingredients.
Salmon.
Method.
1. Clean it without bruising or much cutting, and remove all the blood. 2. Have a clean
fish-kettle with plenty of room. 3. Put the salmon on the strainer, and place it in the fish-kettle.
4. Cover with cold water, measured with a jug to know the quantity. 5. Add salt in the
proportion of an ounce and a quarter to a quart of water, but do not pour it over the fish. 6.
Let the water come quickly to the boil. 7. Skim. 8. Simmer till done. Time, about a quarter
of an hour to a pound. With a slice of salmon or jowl put it into hot or boiling water with salt; hot water
fixes the colour. Dish up on a napkin, and garnish with fresh parsley. Sauces are to be used according to taste.
PRECAUTIONS.-Be careful to remove all the scum, and, when nearly cooked, watch the salmon, or it is
liable to break.
