`Salmon, A Cookbook by Diane Morgan' with a Foreword by distinguished culinary teacher and author, John Ash is a very nice little book, being one of my favorite types of cookbooks devoted to a single, interesting subject. Two things make one wonder why, aside from a strong interest in the subject, did the author and publisher take the time and energy to create this book.

The first and foremost reason is that there is already a less expensive book on the market on exactly the same subject by very highly regarded culinary writer and teacher, James Peterson. I will concede that there is more than enough room for both books if there is little overlap between the two. I will investigate this in a bit.

The second reason is that several things early in the book seem to be done in a less than totally thoughtful manner. The book opens with great anecdotes about travels around the world to major salmon fishing and farming venues, but aside from the mildly titillating travelogue value, it is hard to see how any of this has contributed to the value of the book. These tales are accompanied by smallish, unlabelled snapshots done by the author. Some of the pictures could have been taken in Alaska, Oregon, Scotland, or Norway. The oversights include no labels on very nice pics of whole and filleted salmon, plus long, careful descriptions with scientific names and everything on the various salmon species, but NO PICTURES! Then, we get a text for how to clean and gut a salmon, with NO PICTURES! When the book gets to descriptions on how to scale, de-gill, and fillet, there are some smallish line drawings which are better than nothing. In all fairness, I will concede that Peterson has few illustrations for these techniques as well, but Morgan does little to redress this omission.

As the wife of a fishing finatic living in Seattle, we have plenty of salmon in our freezer year round. I initially requested this book from our local library and was simply astounded by the quality of the recipes in this book. The Asian Salmon Burgers were unbelievable. I made extra of these burgers for my son at college and he called to say, "Make more, please." I have also tried the Blackening spice on fresh Silver Salmon and found it extremely tasty. I served it with a big salad. I am anxious to try more of the recipes and can't say enough good things about this book. Thank you, Diane Morgan, for this great book!

Diane has written a scholarly yet fun cookbook that delves into the fishing, farm raising practices, and sustainability of salmon. Her introduction takes us with her to Alaska, Norway, and Scotland to experience the salmon story. Diane's passion for salmon is not only relegated to cooking, but to protecting and consuming responsibly.

Diane's recipes are global in technique and taste. Her instructions leave little to the imagination, making them easy for all levels of cooks. One example is how Diane demystifies the technique of hot-smoking inside the home. Diane suggests using an affordable stovetop smoker or wok with wire rack and lid. She gives the novice cook confidence to try a new tasty technique.This cookbook spans the world of delicious salmon recipes.

The photographs by both Diane and E.J. Armstrong stimulate cooking as much as the recipes. The layout of the recipes is easy to follow with suggested wine at the top and an enticing voice from Diane leading into the dish. The recipes are interspersed with cook's notes on make ahead suggestions, equipment, and special ingredients.

I'm glad that Diane Morgan has tackled Salmon and given us so many great recipes!

I have cooked from many of Ms. Morgan's books -- the midnight munchies and the dips one in particular. She has done it again. With fantastic recipes that are easy to follow and delicious to eat. Nothing about this book is ordinary. It is a great addition to my cookbook shelf.

Great work and looking forward to more of her books

Just made the Grilled Salmon Tacos with Chipotle Sauce and it was outstanding. I am buying Salmon, The Cookbook based on just that one recipe. If that's typical of the other recipes, I won't be disappointed

Once again, Diane Morgan delivers a subject-focused book that goes far beyond the reach of a typical cookbook. "Salmon" is both beautiful and engaging, with extraordinary photography and a comprehensive narrative that provides much-needed clarity on the subject. I typically avoid single-subject food/cookbooks because I often find them too limiting. Instead, "Salmon" explores the world of this prized fish in a compelling way. And the recipes are inspiring, too! This is a perfect gift for fishermen, fish lovers and cooks of all abilities.

As someone who eats salmon on a regular basis what I care about most as a consumer are the issues of wild vs. farmed salmon, all the conflicting reports about PCB's in salmon, and the labeling and traceability issues surrounding salmon. Diane deals with all of those issues in the front of her book and that's what makes it so informative.

Now as for the recipies, I have tried two at this point and have three more in the queue, the Smoked Salmon Frittata is next! There is something for everyone in my family.
