The pride of the Pacific Northwest, salmon ithe most popular fish in the U.S., which is entirely unsurprising because it’s one of the most versatile in existence, as delicious cured and smoked as it is raw, grilled, seared, fried, or poached. It can take on an almost impossible range of textures, from so silky that it can be sliced to look like fish loin–shaped translucent panes of orange-ish glass to as finely flaky as any one of its leaner cousins.
You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner; for elevenses or tea or late-night snacks; you can eat it for any occasion, as part of a fancy 10-course tasting or as a centerpiece for a large family. It’s the big fish that can do it all, and we love it as only West Coasters love it—with all our Omega-3-saturated hearts.
Come, let us show you how we do salmon!
