Salmon in Jelly

Description
To accompany the salmon this dish should be served with new baby potatoes which have been boiled with mint leaves and fresh garden peas plus a palatable white wine. This is a very basic but absolutely delicious recipe. Of course the fun is catching the salmon and telling the story of how the large one snapped the rod like a pretzel and "got away"!
