SALMON STEAKS — KIPPERED SALMON. saucepan enough clarified fat to fill the saucepan about three- quarters when it is melted; when it is ready (see page 27) put in a few pieces of the prepared fish, and fry them for three or four minutes until they are a nice golden brown. Lift them with a perforated spoon on to a piece of porous paper to drain, and keep them hot in the oven or before the fire until the rest of the fish is cooked. Ascertain that the fat is quite hot again before any more fish is put into it. When all is cooked, serve hot and crisp on a folded napkin or fish-paper, and garnish with parsley. BOILED SALMON. Prepare and boil according to general directions. Serve on a hot dish with a drainer, and place a folded napkin under the fish ; garnish with parsley and cut lemon. Send to table with it, in a sauce-boat, melted butter, parsley, mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce, and a dish of sliced cucum- ber, prepared with a little white vinegar, salad oil, pepper, and salt. Some of the water in which the fish was boiled may also be served with it in a sauce-boat. SALMON STEAKS.
