Instructions: Lovers of good food will be delighted to know that salmon is one of the healthiest of fish. Like mackerel, herrings and sardines, it contains oils that have been known to reduce the risk of heart disease, arthritis and certain cancers.

Place the egg yolks in a bowl with the lemon juice, anchovy essence, salt and pepper. Place the bowl over a saucepan of hot water and beat until slightly thickened. Leave to cool, beating from time to time.

Dissolve the gelatine in the fish stock and beat into the egg mixture. Stir in the chopped salmon. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and lightly fold in to the salmon mixture until they are evenly mixed.

Divide the mixture between four ramekin dishes and chill for 30 minutes.

Garnish with dill or watercress.
