Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. When the salmon is scaled and cleaned, cut off the head and tail, and cut the body through into large slices.
  2. Throw them into a pan of pump water, sprinkle on a handful of bay-salt, stir it about, and then take out the fish.
  3. Set on a deep stewpan, boil the head and tail whole, put in some salt, but no vinegar.
  4. When they have boiled ten minutes, skim the water clean, and put in the slices.
  5. W hen boiled enough, take them out, lay the head and tail in the dish and the slices round.
  6. Or either parts may he dressed separately.
