Welcome to the Captain's Galley
Here we will have lots of fun in the cooking and
then the eating and that I enjoy the best.
BAKED SALMON WHOLE
Having cleaned a small or moderate sized salmon, season it with salt,
pepper, and powdered mace rubbed on it both outside and in.
Skewer it with the tail turned round and put to the mouth.
Lay it on a stand or trivet in a deep dish or pan, and stick it over with
bits of butter rolled in flour.
Put it into the oven, and baste it occasionally, while baking, with its
own drippings.
Garnish it with horseradish and sprigs of curled parsley, laid alternately
round the edge of the dish; and send to table with it a small tureen of
lobster sauce.
