Recipe Ingredients

1   Head-on salmon - (3 to 10 lbs)
3   Cucumbers - scored, and
  Sliced thin
1 cup 237mlHot water
1/3 cup 78mlUnflavored powdered gelatin

2   Black olives
1   Parsley

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Wrap the head and tail of salmon in foil and place on a baking sheet in oven. Bake a three-pound salmon for 35 minutes; add 9 to 10 minutes for each additional pound.

Remove salmon from oven, and while it's still hot, remove the skin and the dark fatty part of the fish. Chill salmon 45 minutes.

Place the chilled salmon on a bed of parsley. Mix the hot water and powdered gelatin together. Place sliced cucumbers in the water-gelatin mixture and then assemble the slices overlapping, like fish scales, on the outside of the salmon covering it entirely.

Garnish with olives for eyes and sliced radishes for fins. Place the salmon on a bed of parsley and serve.
