This recipe is surprisingly simple and exceptionally tasty. The original source is German, but it goes really well with Cameline sauce.
Ingredients
1 lb. salmon fillets
1 tsp. parsley
1/4 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. anise
pastry for a double-crust pie
Method
Remove any skin from salmon. Roll out half of pastry on a floured surface, and place salmon in the middle. Add remaining ingredients and cover with the rest of the pastry. Seal edges with water and cut to shape if desired. Bake at 350° until golden - about 40 minutes.

Take a salmon. Scrape off the scales. Split it and cut it into pieces. Cut parsley (and) sage. Take ground ginger, pepper, anise. Salt to mass. Make a dough (possibly freshly made as opposed to sourdough) also the size of the piece (of salmon). And throw the herb on the piece. And surround it with the dough. Stamp it in a form if you can. Thus you may make pike (and) trout. And bake individually in a dough. However, if it is a meat day, then you may make hens, partridge, pigeon and pheasant. If you have the forms, and bake them in fat or boil in the forms. Take from the breasts of the hens or other good meat. So will the art be the better and do not oversalt.
