WILD SOCKEYE SALMON - It's What's For Dinner

Susan Betz

The wild sockeye is in season! One of the local groceries is selling it at $4.99/lb. Wish I had a deep freeze. I heat the over to 425, baste the fish with Chinese black bean sauce, and sprinkle blanched sliced almonds on it. Cook it for 20-25 minutes and serve it with a veggie stir-fry on the side.

My husband says they used to get the salmon by the truckload up North. They'd gut and wrap a 30 pound salmon, bury it in coals, and let it roast for 4-5 hours, then unwrap it and it would fall right off the bones. I'd love to try that sometime.

I can't even eat that farmed crap. It's wild or nothing.

Slow cooking salmon is amazing. There is a recipe I tried for salmon at 200 degrees for...I can't remember how long. It was amazing.

As for the salmon up here. It's not what it used to be at all. Pretty heavy in mercury I think. Most of what we get is grown in farms off the coasts.

Went fishing up at Erie a couple weeks ago. Caught 6 large freezer bags worth of walleye pike (actually in the perch family). It was a good day to be on the water! They are to die for *drooling*
