Potted Salmon. Select a piece of salmon, but do not wash it; wipe it very dry and scale it. Place it on a dish, sprinkle salt over, and rub it in well. Let the fish remain in the salt until the latter has all melted and drained away, the dish being placed in a slightly sloping position so that it may drain off as it dissolves. When ready place the fish in a deep bakingpan, together with a seasoning of bruised mace, cloves, whole peppers, and three or four bay leaves; put plenty of butter over it

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
