Newcastle Potted Salmon is a delicious way to cook salmon, which is popular in the North East of England. This dish is typically served as an appetizer or a light lunch. The salmon is baked in the oven with some spices, butter, and white pepper, then flaked apart and mixed with more butter to create a hearty and flavorful spread. This dish is often enjoyed with some toast or crackers and garnished with cucumber. With its rich and indulgent taste, it is a great dish to serve for special occasions or when you want to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 200*C.
2.	Season the salmon steaks with the mixed mace and cloves powder, white pepper, and salt.
3.	Place salmon steaks in a baking dish and dot with unsalted butter. Cover the dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
4.	Remove salmon from the oven and, while the fish is still hot, use a fork to flake it apart into small pieces. Season to taste with salt.
5.	Melt some more unsalted butter and pour over the salmon to hold it together.
6.	Garnish with cucumber slices and serve with some toast or crackers.
