[Sca-cooks] salmon recipe

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

I guess you could use salmon as the basis for mortews of fish and  
serve that cold; I find mortews generally less terrifying if made with  
coarse crumbs of a high-gluten bread, which gives it a fluffier and  
less leaden texture.

The only other minced/ground/pulverized salmon dish I can think of  
offhand is in one of the books in Curye On Inglysch; a recipe for,  
IIRC, saumon gentil, which I seem to recall involves filleted salmon  
pounded (raw) in a mortar, salted and spiced, then extruded through a  
cow's horn funnel into simmering water, with the resulting dumplings  
cut into serving portions and served with spice powder...
