I just heard some say that salmon should be eaten plain, no spices to cover up its intrinsic natural flavor and that folks have enjoyed it that way for generations -- what a know-nothing ridiculous pronouncement - completely inaccurate - the native americans have used sea salt and juniper berries and honey for hundreds if not thousands of years - the norse also used sea salt to cure their salmon for smoking - in fact it is impossible to smoke salmon without salting -- in fact salting the fish flesh and the roe is something that has been done for eons -- how preposterous and arrogant to say people need to eat fish the natural way -- in fact if you really want to eat it natural - don't cook the salmon - eat it raw - cooking changes the protein structure and gives a flavor thatis decidely not natural -
