Combining the well-tried favourite fish recipes and many new suggestions for preparing fresh salmon, together with ideas for smoked salmon, gravad lax and salmon roe this book looks at a range of salmon recipes. The important health aspects of eating salmon and other oily fish to reduce cholesterol is a contributing factor to the healthier aspects of eating fish. Also included in this book is a brief description of salmon farming, intended to alloy fears about farmed fish, and some descriptive text and photographs of the Shetland Isles.
