This review is from: Salmon: The Cookbook (Paperback)

I confess. I've always thought of Salmon as something you could only cook in one or two ways. This book came as a big surprise as it includes 120 or more recipies showing salmon being cooked in just about every imaginable fashion. Bill Jones is the editor of the book. An accomplished chef in his own right, trained in France and England he has since specialized in the regional foods of the North West.

In this book he has worked with many of the chef/authors who have published books with Whitecap publishers. They have each contributed salmon recipies from their own kitchens. The recipies are broken down by the course of the meal, as follows:

Marinades & Curing
Stocks, Soups & Chowders
Canapes & Snacks
Appetizers
Eggs & Pastry
Salads
Barbecue
Baked & Broiled
Poached & Steamed
Saute & Stirfry.

I can't think of any other part of a meal. The only problem I have with the book is that I'm having a dinner party tonight. I think Barbecued salmon might be a very good thing to have. But there are eight different barbecue recipies. Which one should I try first?
