Fried Salmon

Cut some thin slices of salmon, sprinkle them over with salt, and leave for fifteen or twenty minutes. Dredge flour over the slices of salmon, brush over with the beaten yolk of egg, and fry in boiling salad oil. When cooked, drain the slices of salmon well, and place them on an ornamental dish-paper or a folded napkin on a hot dish, garnish with fried parsley, and serve.
