About

This is something different for your buffet or picnic table. You don’t have to use a whole fish, as it makes a good summer dish with salmon cutlets, or even trout.

Ingredients

10-pound salmon, cooked in tinfoil (juices reserved), skinned and backbone removed, and reassembled as a whole fish
¼ white loaf of bread, crusts removed, soaked in water

Method

Squeeze out the bread. Purée the bread, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor, adding enough fish juices to make a sauce the thickness of mayonnaise. Cover the fish with the sauce and decorate with cucumber.
