[Sca-cooks] Seeking salmon recipe

[Ana Valdés]

In Sweden the salmon is made still on the "ancient way". Marinated (gravad
lax) in salt, senap and a lot of dill.
Or with black peppar. Or with snaps.
It's eaten plain, when they cook it it''s easy cooked and accompanied by
potatis, turnips or selleriroot. Only concession to the New World's food are
the potatoes.
