Salmon Steaks

Split the salmon and take out the bone as nicely as possible, without mangling the flesh. Then cut it into fillets or
steaks about an inch thick. Dry them lightly in a cloth, and dredge them
with flour. Take care not to squeeze or press them. Have ready some clear bright coals, such as are fit for beef-steaks.
Let the gridiron be clean and bright, and rub the bars with chalk to
prevent the fish from sticking. Broil the slices thoroughly, turning them with steak tongs. Send them to table hot,
wrapped in the folds of a napkin that has been heated. Serve up with them anchovy, or prawn, or lobster sauce.
