Last week, I shared about the differences between Wild vs Farmed salmon in my cooking blog. You can find it in my Honey Ginger Glaze Sockeye Salmon recipe post. I also mentioned that I will be sharing a couple more salmon recipe, so here it goes. This one that I’m sharing is very straight forward and ultra simple to prepare. The good people at The Alaska Guys sent me 3 different types of salmon. So for this recipe, I’m trying out their Coho also known as Silver Salmon.
Unlike the Sockeye, the colour of the Coho is similar to what I’m used to. After thawing out the Salmon overnight in my chiller, I marinated it and when about my business. Came home, baked it, and treated myself to a nice dinner. Once again, I can’t believe how good the fish tasted. Serve over rice or Japanese Potato Salad like I did.
The husband came home a little later that night and he already had his dinner. But upon knowing that I made wild salmon for dinner, he wolfed down his portion. He was full when he came home, only wanted to nibble, and try out a piece of the salmon. However, it seemed that he was battling between self-control and good food. Good food won. After he got done with his post dinner-dinner, he exclaimed that we will only have wild salmon from now on. Lol! It’s true though, once you go wild, it’s hard to go back.
If you would like to taste the difference, you can get them from The Alaska Guys, quote “Delishar5” during check out to get 5% off.
