Grinding up or chopping fresh salmon seems a totally
inappropriate thing to me! There are so many delicious ways to
cook fresh salmon: poached, broiled, baked etc. Have you ever
had salmon a la unilaterale? That's cooked on a bed of rock or
kosher salt at 500° F for 10 minutes. The only way that I've
really enjoyed chopped salmon is the Hawaiian lomi-lomi salmon
but that's uncooked and more like sushi. In honesty, I have had
a so-called tuna burger made with fresh tuna that I did like.
