Finland's cuisine was influenced by both Sweden and Russia, but glow-fried salmon is traditionally a Finnish food.

Ingredients:

12-oz. salmon fillet
1/4-cup coarse salt

Sauce:
1-1/2 stick butter
1 Tbs. lemon pepper
lemon juice from 1/2-lemon
1-oz. vodka

Directions:

1. Cover a salmon fillet in coarse salt for flavor.
   
2. Wipe salt off fish before cooking.
   
3. Use wooden stakes to drive the fillet onto a board.
   
4. Combine a stick and a half of butter in a pot with a tablespoon of lemon pepper, the lemon juice and an ounce of vodka.
   
5. Melt over a fire, but do not boil.
   
6. Place salmon-board upright facing fire.
   
7. Add sauce when salmon is nearly cooked. When done, douse salmon in vodka and flambé. Extinguish and serve.
