Salmon Recipe

SALMON DRESSING

Take a piece of fresh Salmon, and wash it clean in a little Vinegar and water, and let it lie a while in it, then put it into a great Pipkin with a cover, and put to it some six spoonfuls of water and four of Vinegar, and as much of white-wine, a good deal of Salt a handful of sweet herbs, a little white Sorrel, a few Cloves, a little stick of Cinamon, a little Mace; put all these in a Pipkin close, and set it in a Kettle of seething water, and there let it stew three hours.



SALMON PUDDING

Remove the bone, skin and oil from two pound cans of salmon. Boil together two cupfuls of white bread crumbs and one cupful of milk. Take from the fire, and add one cupful of boiled rice, a teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, a teaspoonful of onion juice, and four eggs slightly beaten. Mix and work in the fish. Press the whole through a colander, and pack it at once into a mold. Cover and steam three-quarters of an hour. Serve hot with cream sauce. This will serve twelve persons.



SALMON PATTIES.

Delicious patties can be made from salmon by combining it with bread crumbs and using a thick white sauce to hold the ingredients together. These may be either sauted in shallow fat or fried in deep fat.

2 c. finely minced salmon
1 c. fresh bread crumbs
1 c. thick white sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Dry bread crumbs

With the salmon, mix the fresh bread crumbs and the white sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into round patties, roll in the dry bread crumbs, and fry in deep fat or saute in shallow fat. Serve hot with or without sauce.



SALMON COLLAR

Take the side of a middling salmon, and cut off the head, take out all the bones and the outside, season it with mace, nutmeg, pepper and salt, roll it tight up in a cloth, boil it, and bind it up with pickle; it will take about an hour boiling; when it is boiled bind it tight
again, when cold take it very carefully out of the cloth and bind it about with filleting; you must not take off the filleting but as it is eaten.



SALMON PICKLE

Take two or three quarts of water, a jill of vinegar, a little Jamaica pepper and whole pepper, a large handful of salt, boil them altogether, and when it is cold put in your salmon, so keep it for use.
