When both sides are done, take them on to a hot dish; butter each slice well with sweet butter; strew over each a little salt and pepper to taste, and serve. Spiced Salmon (Pickled). — Boil a salmon, and, after wiping it dry, set it to cool; take of the water in which it was boiled, and good vinegar each equal parts, enough to cover it; add to it one dozen cloves, as many small blades of mace, or sliced nutmeg, one teaspoonful of whole pepper, and the same of allspice, make it boiling hot, skim it clear, add a small bit of butter (the size of a small egg), and pour it over the fish; set it in a cool place. When cold it is fit for use and will keep a long time, covered close, in a cool place. Serve instead of pickled oysters for supper. A fresh cod is very nice done in the same manner; as is also a striped sea bass. Boiled Salmon
