SALMON pAiNrIEs,

DAMNED salmon. always available,
u can be made into SO many dainty
and delicious dishes that II can be
used once or twice week without be-
coming monotonous. Here are some
recipes for using it in many good ways:
sroilsd Salmon.
Separate the salmon into neat pieces
and broil quickly on each side. Pre-
pare some maitre d'hotel butter-cream
butter with little lemon Juice and
minced parsley-and spread 1t over the
hot, broiled slices OF salmon. Serve
very hot.
Baked In Peppers.
Parboil green peppers Of the sweet
variety after cutting them in half and
removing the seeds, which are often
hot. In ten minutes drain them. dip
quickly into cold water and drain
Then mix salmon with an equal
amount Of breadcrumbs, moisten well
with melted butter and little cream.
Put in baking dish. buttered. pour In
a very little water and cook until the
peppers are soft and the fish is brown.
Dreamed Salmon.
Separate canned salmon into rather
large pieces and heat without breaking
very much In white sauce. Serve on
thin slices Of hot buttered toast and
season with salt and pepper.
Salmon Salad.
Salmon salad Is delicious and can be
made in several ways. One is to mince
the salmon fine and mix 1t with mayor
naise dressing and then to serve 1t In
white lettuce leaves with a teaspoon
full of mayonnaise on top Of each
mound and couple Of capers In that.
Another is to mix the salmon, broken
into large pieces. with French dressing
and serve II on lettuce. Still another
method is to use equal parts OF salmon
in fakes and minced celery heart with
mayonnaise or French dressing on let
tuce.
seaiiepsd Salmon.
6calloped salmon Is made by putting
alternately layers Of canned salmon
and big breadcrumbs in a buttered
baking dish and then pouring over II
all some thin white sauce seasoned
well with salt and pepper, then adding
q sprinklipg Of buttered breadcrumbs
and browning in oven.
Plain Salmon.
When canned salmon is served plain
It should be freed from skin and bones
and neatly arranged on a platter and
garnished with sprigs Of fresh parsley
and slices or sections of lemon.
