Salmon Recipes

The almighty salmon! It is one of our personal favorities . . . firm texture, rich flavor, deep red color. Salmon can be cooked in many different ways: baking, poaching, broiling or pan-frying. It’s even firm enough to grill. The important thing is not to let it dry out. When baking or grilling, cook the salmon just until it flakes. This is about 10 minutes for each inch of thickness (on the grill, that’s about 5 minutes per side). It does not have to be opaque all the way through to be cooked — it will probably be dry if you wait that long. Salty’s Cedar-Planked Salmon is one of our personal favorites — give it a try.

Planked salmon is a method of cooking and smoking salmon that has been used for many years. One of the great advantages of living in the Pacific Northwest is that we get to enjoy Copper River salmon before anyone else, except Alaska, of course. Here's one of my favorite preparations.

Grilled Chinook Salmon with White Peach Marmalade

  • Ready in: 1h
  • Cooking time: 11m

The Dish: salmon is in season and this is the best time to celebrate the flavors and wonder salmon brings to the food world. Chinook is the Native American translation of a King salmon. We like to serve this dish simply, so we do not hurt the flavor of the salmon. The salmon is simply seasoned and grilled.

(This is the foil-barbecue method — but the salmon is also great baked or pan seared)
