Fish
Whole
Salmon whole is the intact fish for roasting, grilling, or steaming on the bone. Bones and skin baste the pink flesh; a whole fish feeds a table and looks festive on a platter with herbs and citrus. Scale, gut, and score as needed; stuff the cavity lightly if desired. Cook until flesh near the backbone is just opaque—carryover heat finishes the thickest part.
