Boiled Salmon Recipe 2 ingredients

To prepare this Boiled Salmon Recipe 2, first clean the salmon and scrape the skin, wipe dry, and put it in the kettle with sufficient boiling water to cover it. Keep the kettle where it will boil gently. When done, drain well, remove carefully to a hot platter, and serve garnished with slices of lemon and hard-boiled eggs. Piquant or Hollandaise sauce is one of the best accompaniments to salmon.

A border of Parisienne potatoes piled around the platter, or heaped in mounds alternated with the slices of lemon, makes a pretty dish. The potato balls should be fried in a frying basket in deep, hot fat until they are a nice brown.

Striped bass is excellent boiled in the same way as salmon and served with Hollandaise sauce. Remove the head and tail of any fish that is to be cooked whole. They are most unappetizing and unsightly.
