Two Great Salmon Recipies I Cooked This Christmas

Cooking salmon is definitely one of my tasks to do last Christmas eve. For me without my favorite salmon in the table, would be an incomplete meal that's why I made sure I got a good and yet very simple salmon recipes ready. And it's the baked salmon and salmon steak which were really so simple recipes to cook. Well I really needed simple ones since I've got heaps of recipes to do for the big day. Check it out and enjoy...


SALMON BAKED IN SLICES

First,take out the bone and cut the flesh into slices. Season them with cayenne and salt and melt two ounces of butter that has been rolled in flour, in a half pint of water, and mix with it two large glasses of port wine, two table-spoonfuls of catchup, and two anchovies. This allowance is for a small quantity of salmon. But if you're cooking for a large dish you must proportion the ingredients accordingly. Let the anchovies remain in the liquid till they are dissolved. Then strain it and pour it over the slices of salmon. Tie a sheet of buttered paper over the dish, and put it into the oven. You may bake trout or carp in the same manner.


SALMON STEAKS

Split the salmon and take out the bone as nicely as possible, without mangling the flesh. Then cut it into fillets or steaks about an inch thick. Afterwards, dry them lightly in a cloth, and dredge them with flour. Take care not to squeeze or press them. Have ready some clear bright coals, such as are fit for beef-steaks. Let the gridiron be clean and bright, and rub the bars with chalk to prevent the fish from sticking. Broil the slices thoroughly, turning them with steak tongs. Send them to table hot, wrapped in the folds of a napkin that has been heated. Serve up with them anchovy, or prawn, or lobster sauce.

Hope you'll enjoy these very easy salmon receipes and I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year in 2008.
