Salmon Fit For a Tsar

In this issue we treat you to another salmon recipe. Imperial Salmon was often cooked at special receptions before the revolution—the meal combined a true bouquet of delicacies using choice local ingredients. The recipe’s uniqueness stems from the combination of two flavors that are quite tasty and distinct in their own right, and which add up to make a sum greater than the total of the parts. The natural fats in the bacon are a perfect “wrapping” for the salmon, making this prized fish even more flavorful and succulent.
