Washing Up
Sunday Morning,
Just finished a brisk walk ... And here we are once again thinking of discussing gastronomy ...
Salmon ( salmone in Italian ) Strozzapreti has an interesting history, as PRETI is priest in Italian and STROZZA means to tie, ties to the clergy.
Somebody posted a thread late last night, and I cannot locate it at the moment, so I decided to post this delicious dish separately.

25 grams of spring onion chopped finely or Shallots chopped finely
