A salted king salmon

The 60 cm-long salted king salmon (chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is an annual gift from one of my best friend. This year, fortunately, he stopped by my house just after it arrived, so I could taste the fish with him. Though the fish was much salted, the meat inside is not so salty, but quite well fatty with much flavor and taste. As the last night dinner, a hot pot with blocks of the salmon meat, head, and fins, in soy paste soup, was quite delicious and warming for us in this season. This morning, we enjoyed salmon steak too; very nice.
