' Salmon, Whole or in Pieces
I Baked in Aluminum Foil
1 To bake a whole salmon for
a special occasion buffet or
dinner is not a difficult under
taking. Lacking the oval
, shaped fish poacher of old-
time kitchens-reven the pro
. per platter for serving, these
can be fashioned with the aid
of versatile aluminum foil
This delicious coast-caught
; king of the sea becomes a
"spectacular thing when
served whole in the grand
manner, nested as in our pic
ture in a wreath of delicate
greenery decked with lemon
and accompanied by a divine
sauce.
For smaller family serving,
a three to four pound piece of
salmon can be baked in exact
ly the same manner as whole
salmon use half the wine-herb
mixture and make half the
amount of sauce. Allow 15
minutes per pound in a mod
erate, 375 degree, oven.
Salmon Spectacular
A 7 to 10 pound salmon
will fit the average oven, will
. serve 10 to 16 persons gener
ously. If any is left over, it is
superlative served cold with
curried mayonnaise. With
head, fish will measure up to
19 inches in length. Trim tail
and if desired, remove head;
rinse and place on paper
towels to dry.
Meanwhile, place three
fourths cup dry white wine
(half lemon juice and half
water may be substituted) in
a saucepan. Add three sprigs
fresh thyme (one-fourth tea
sooon dry), a sprig of rose-
m a r y ' (one-fourth teaspoon
dry), celery leaves from a
. small stalk, three minced
scallions (green onions), two
. slices whole lemon (to add
flavor of rind) and three pep
percorns. Let this steep for
30 minutes without boiling.
To Make a Pan
For baking the fish, make
a pah like this: double fold
18-inch-wide heavy duty alu
minum foil (be sure it . is
heavy duty foil) to form
sheet a little longer than the
fish and turn . edges up all
around. Now lay the fish
lengthwise on another long
sheet of heavy duty foil and
pour over the warm wine
v with flavoring ingredients,
pouring some inside the open
ing, and salt the flsn ngnuy
Fish Baking
Bring foil up over fish
from either side, overlapping
snugly at the top. Turn , up
the foil at head and tail so
juices won't run out. Place on
the already formed pan and
transfer to a preheated me
' dium hot, 375 degree, oven;
bake for 12 to 15 minutes per
nnunrl, ) An eieht-Dound fish
: will take approximately two
: hours.
Wrapped in foil, the wine
and herbs really flavor the
; fish with a wonderfully elu
sive and delicate taste. Open
the foil when, baking time is
about up. Test for doneness
by inserting a fork in the side.
If flesh flakes easily, lifts off
- the bone, it is done. Reclose
foil and continue baking, if
not done. ,
Sauce Making
While fish is baking, the
sauce may be started. Mince
two scallions (green onions)
and saute with one-half cup
(one stick) butter until trans-
: parent. Add six tablespoons
' flour and stir and cook gent
ly without browning for three
minutes. Let stand until fish
is done. With a large spoon
or turkey baster, dip or si-
nhon out juices and add to
butter mixture in saucepan.
' Add one-half cup dry white
wine (same as that in wine
and herb mixture) and
enough boiling water to make
five cups liquid. Stir and
cook mixture until thick and
smooth. Add one-half cup
cream. Correct seasoning
with additional salt and pep
per to taste. Strain. Just be
fore serving, add the lightly
beaten yolks of one or two
eggs and beat sauce until
light with a whisk.
Grand Finale
Use th baking foil to trans
fer the warm fish to a serv
ing platter. Remove the skin
from the fish. This lifts off
easily to expose tender moist
flesh of an exquisite pink tint.j
Remove seasoning herbs. Sur-j
round the fish with tender
chickory, fresh basil, lemon
wedges and perhaps some
small flowers of the season
Sauce separately. ' '
'To Make Platter. If a plat
ter large enough to hold the
fish is lacking, a . clean
shingle, a piece of plyboard
or the bread board from the
kitchen cabinet can be used.
Cover with, foil, if desired.
The baking foil may be folded
back and rolled attractively.
Cold Salmon Buffet - ,
If the salmon spectacular
described above is to be dra
matically offered at a buffet-
type meal, we suggest that
two different types of sauce
accompany it. A sauceboat of
mayonnaise with a touch of
curry added and a boat or
bowl of dairy sour cream
with capers added. For family
serving, perhaps you'd like
mayonnaise and dairy sour
cream half and half with
either a touch of curry or
with capers added; not both
since their flavors are so dis
tinctive. Succulent Sausage
Offers 'Menu Variety
Sausage meats make good
and easy meals. With no
waste, sausage is easy to keep,
easy to handle and a snap to
serve. There are dozens of
kinds to choose from; sausage
for hot dishes, salads, sand
wiches and cold meat platters.
Try these for menu newness:
Everybody loves pork sau
sage links with scrambled
eggs, morning, noon or night,
Smoked Thuringer is a fine
teammate with plentiful red
cabbage.
- Frankfurters and sauer
kraut become something su
per special when cooked
with chopped apple, chopped
onion and sauterne added.
Liver sausage and Braun
schweiger (smoked liver sau
sage) are epicurean and sur
prise almost everyone when
pan broiled and accompanied
by crisp- toast and lemon
wedges.
Chicken Trinidad
For Memorable Meal
The family deserves this
Chicken Trinidad for a very
special occasion or will
make it a memorable occa
sion. Guests will taut about it
for a long time to come. It
is elegant without being ex
pensive because the' chicken
breasts can be purchased as
packaged separately.
Here, flavor excitement lies
in several directions; texture,
too. There's a can of frozen
concentrate for Pine apple
Lemon punch; there's sliced
pineapple, avocado and toast
ed almonds. But read it and
do your own rhapsodizing. Six
servings.
6 chicken breasts
Salt to taste
cup salad oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Vi cup butter
1 6-ounce can frozen con
centrate for Pineapple
Lemon Punch
1 No. 303 can sliced pine
apple ' 1 avocado, peeled and
sliced '
6 cups cooked rice
V4 cup sliced or slivered
toasted almonds
Season chicken with salt.
Heat oil in large skillet and
brown chicken on both sides.
Arrange in baking dish. Com
bine ginger, soy sauce, butter
and Punch in saucepan, heat
ing through until blended.
Pour sauce over chicken; cov
er.
Bake in moderate, 350 de
gree, oven 40-45 minutes or
until meat is tender. Baste
occasionally while baking. Ar
range chicken on rice and
pour sauce over. Heat pine
apple in skillet, browning on
both sides. Arrange pineapple
and avocado slices around
chicken; sprinkle all with
toasted almonds.
Valencias Are Coming
California oranges are
available the year round but
the two principal varieties
change with the seasons. In
market November to May are
Navel oranges, identified by
the "navel" formation at blos
som end. From May to No
vember, Valencias are in max
ket. April finds Navel or
anges going, Valencias com
ing; both very good buys at
any time.
When Swift Gets Lined Up,
You Just Can't See Him
It would be the most nat
ural thing in the world to look
for the "swift" to be on a
fence, but the little lizard is
equally at home on a tree or
even scurrying around in the
sand.
The family of swifts, (and
they are) of which there are
somewhat over two dozen
kinds in the the United States,
are true lizards. Most of them
prefer dry, sandy areas, some
even having never been ob
served anywhere near water,
seeming to get all the mois
ture they need from the dew
that gathers on foliage.
They live entirely on in
sects which they stalk with
stealth and cunning. The
swift, commonly called the
"fence, or swift lizard" has a
tail slightly longer that the
body, but the overall length
seldom exceeds five or 5V4
inches. The tail is very flexi
ble and can be lashed in such
a way as to make the little
animal appear very vicious
and dangerous, althoueh ac
tually he is perfectly harm
less.
Flexible Neck
The animal's neck is also
flexible, allowing the swift to
look easily in any given direc
tion. UnliKe their reptile rela
tives, the swifts are very alert.
active and wide awake.
The fence lizard, althoueh
related to the smaller-bodied
chameleon, does not have the
chameleon's ability of chang
ing its body color. Actually
the fence swift does not have
to; his body-camouflage is
"built-in," and it could hardlv
be improved on as his perma
nent color. i .
Markings of black and
gray closely resemble the
bark of a tree, and he wisely
knows enough to select that
particular kind of tree on
which to sit in order to be as.
nearly invisible as possible.
Lines Match
The black lines in the bark
match up with the dark lines
on the lizard body, and both
leave oit, ana begin, at ex
actly the same place.
The lining up of the body
stripes with the markings of
the tree bark is not at all an
accident; the lizard has some
sort of color sense that tells
him when his markings line
up with the bark. If, at a given
instant, when the swift first
comes to rest on the bark, his
position is not exactly right,
he . will shift his body, turn
his head stretch out his neck
or adjust himself until he ac
tually disappears from sight.
Even his bright little eyes re
semble dark spots on the tree
trunk.
And how very well and
honorably he wears his "cloak
of invisibility;" how conven
ient would such an arrange
ment be for a human who,
placed in an embarrassing po
sition or predicament, wants
to "fall right through the
floor." "Now you see him,
now you don't," is easy for
the fence swift; he can actu
ally disappear right before
your eyes.
Popularity of Yard
Fences Returns
Getting out in the wide
open spaces is sure-fire sum
mer fun-but not if you're
about 5 and the "open spaces"
are streets or drives.
Safety, plus privacy and ex
citing new decorating possi
bilities for your yard, pool,
patio or garden are impor
tant factors that have sparked
the return to popularity of
fences in recent years.
Ranging all the way from
tiny edges to protect delicate
plants and shrubs up to com
plete enclosures that keep
out everything but the sun,
today's steel fences are long
lived, easy to maintain and
available in styles to suit and
taste.
Of recent development are
rail and picket fences of gal
vanized steel which come in
a choice of baked enamel col
ors. Don't overlook the wide va
riety of galvanized steel chain
link models that are right for
any well-dressed yard.
