i have done salmon a number of times (when i could find it on sale for 2.99 
lb... yes, it happens... or if it was a small feast) with good results. 
used master huen's recipe 'to seeth fresh salmon' and it was a big hit.

once i cheated (period-wise) and used salmon pate from a local tiny bistro 
as 'a little dad will do ya' on an appetizer plate.   they rough chopped 
the ingredients on request, i had hubby pick it up that a.m., and it cost 
me less than if i would have tried to make it myself!  of course, folks 
were licking the plate on that one.

confession?  never been brave enuf to try a white fish... tho pickled 
herring might find a place on an 'appetizer' course one day.
