One of the best salmon dishes I've eaten was very fresh (flown in that day)
Copper River salmon topped with soy sauce, honey and chopped pecans. Broiled
to perfection! Unfortunately accompanied with greatly undercooked carrots
and broccoli and a blah rice pilaf. The dessert helped though: double
chocolate cake with a fudge filling and drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Copper river salmon is really excellent.
