SC - four and twenty blackbirds

[Philip & Susan Troy]

Here is a recipe that I have used many times that
covers two requests! 

>From Gervase Markham's The English Huswife:

To seeth fresh Salmon.

Take a little water, and as much Beere and Salt,
and put thereto Parsley, Time, and Rosemarie, and 
let all thes boyle together; then put in your
Salmon, and make your broth sharpe with some
Vinigar.

My redaction:

2 pounds salmon (either steaks or filets)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 can or 2 cups beer
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tbsp thyme
2 tbsp rosemary
1 tbsp vinegar

Put olive oil in heavy skillet and add salmon
(cover both sides of salmon with olive oil).
Add beer, then sprinkle on seasonings.  Simmer
for 10-15 min. (depending on thickness of the
salmon).  Add vinegar and simmer for 1 min. longer.

For a feast, you can eliminate the skillet and
use instead jelly-roll baking sheets (i.e. 
cookie sheets with a one inch high side all around).
Place in the oven for 10-15 min. and you will get
just the same effect.
