Salmon appetizer 4 kinds 鮭のお通し4種

The day after we had sashimi salmon, we had the four starters pictured below. Two are repeat dishes from the ones we had the previous day when we had salmon sashimi. In the back is instant gravlax (previously posted instant Gravlax made with umershu 梅酒 ) canapé on the no knead rye bread I made. Topped with sour cream and cucumber.  


Here is a close-up of the gravlax.



The picture below shows  Russian marinated salmon on the second day. So,  it is bit more "cured" or "cooked" than when we had it the day before but still not completely "cooked" and quite good.



This is the usual salmon salad. Instead of crackers, I served it with slices of cucumber so that we would not get filled up too quickly.



Below is "salmon nanban" 鮭の南蛮漬け. This is a variation of nanban 南蛮. I made it with chicken,  jack mackerel 鯵, "shishamo" ししゃも or capelin fish previously.


So, these were 4 starters all made with salmon. We had cold sake which went very well with all dishes.
