In Salmon: The Cookbook, culinary expert, author, chef and food consultant Bill Jones has gathered together more than 120 deliciously creative recipes showcasing Atlantic and Pacific species of salmon. Enhanced with color photography an botanical drawings of the various salmon species and their characteristics, the featured recipes are drawn from such noted contributors as Karen Barnaby, Dan Atkinson, Jamie Kennedy and other such dedicated salmon fanciers. Nicely organized by the dining categories of soups, salads, and entrees, Salmon: The Cookbook also features marinades, as well as curing instructions and even various cooking approaches. High in omega-3 and low in fat, salmon is one of the healthiest fish available to the human diet -- and now this compendium of "kitchen cook friendly" recipes makes salmon readily available in a variety of mouth-watering dishes which range from simple family fare to elaborate dining occasions. If you like salmon, then you need a copy of Salmon: The Cookbook as part of your personal culinary reference collection!

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?

This is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to cook Salmon in a variety of ways. Each contributor has a different style that you can create in your kitchen with outstanding results.

Bill, an accomplished chef in his own right, has compiled great recipes from his many chef buddies. Here's an astounding variety of salmon recipes from many minds. A real good cookbook.

THIS COOKBOOK IS A GREAT ADDITION TO MY LIBRARY. I COOK SALMON FREQUENTLY AND HAVE USED THIS COOKBOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOMES.
