Dinner chez Sam
Sam's papa went dip netting, and invited us over for dinner. Fresh salmon, yum!
Mr. chef preparing the salmon on the cedar planks:
Oh interesting! A handful of Christmases ago someone gave me a couple ceder(?) planks for cooking salmon. I haven't taken them out of the wrapper because I couldn't imagine perching them near a campfire/open flame with fish on top and having anything cook effectively, letalone setting the whole thing on fire. But looks like you put it into the oven! Ahhh, I'll have to try that!
BTW, Monterey Bay Aquarium recently put California/Oregon/Washington wild salmon on their avoid list because the fish are becoming pretty endangered. Alaskan wild salmon are still on the 'good to eat' list, though. Guess they are still plentiful.
No, you soak it in water and then put it on the grill! :) Also... cedar that's used for building material is untreated, so you can buy one fence board from Home Depot for this purpose, at a tenth the cost of a cedar plank from the gourmet section of the supermarket. :)

ReplyDeleteDo dogs eat salmon? I guess yours do :-(
ReplyDeleteNaya the neurotic cat does not :-(
Dogs like salmon, so they get the skin. Why is that sad?
ReplyDeleteI just don't want your dogs to eat your portion of food, in this case, your fresh salmon, because you might feed them if they like it.
ReplyDeleteThat would be taking pet affection a bit too far, giving them "my portion" of food!
