I eat a lot of salmon, and go fishing in the Pacific Northwest yearly for them. While high grade salmon is delicious just baked with some butter, salt, and lemon, those that eat a lot of it may want more complex recipes. Plus, these recipes sound like they would be good with the lower quality pink, or farmed salmon, which is better with some added ingredients.A few of the reviews mention that the recipes have ingredients that are not common in a normal pantry, and I agree. But most of the recipes only require one unusual ingredient, and I'm willing to buy it for a change up in a meal.Many of the unique ingredients are herbs or spices, which the author recommends to buy fresh. I agree with that, Examples are fresh coriander, basil, thyme, dill, chives, ginger, parsley and marjoram.Other not too common ingredients are Thai curry paste, crème frache, jerk seasoning, harissa Moroccan spice, fennel bulb, sherry vinegar, and fresh chervil.I tried the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, and it was delicious. I'm going to make the baked salmon strips next.In time, I will make all of the recipes in the book. These aren't anything you will find on the internet.Highly recommended for salmon lovers. This book is a keeper.
