I lived in Portland, OR for four years and while living there, I fell in love with the Northwest Sockeye Salmon. Since we are landlocked and far away from the Northwest salmon, our access to this tasty fish is obviously more limited than it is in the northwest. However, you can still occasionally find it fresh at South City Market in Montrose, Safeway in Montrose, and Clarks in Telluride. Another great source of fresh fish is The Fish Market in Montrose. Their main business is supplying regional restaurants, but they do have retail hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9-5.
If you are lucky enough to find fresh Northwest salmon, you have to try this recipe! And even if you buy frozen or farm-raised, still try it. Kids love this, and it’s super easy and satisfying!
4 Tbs Soy sauce
2 tsp honey
a few drop of sesame oil (a little goes a long way)
mix until the honey dissolves and reserve some for later and pour rest over fish.
Marinate for about 20 minutes then put on very hot cast iron skillet in oven under the broiler for 6-7 minutes or until done.
I made a whole filet for my family and it wasn’t enough! I served this with garlic sauteed spinach and broccoli and it was a hit!
