Citrus cured copper river salmon


Seems like I have been on a bit of a salmon kick recently, but lets be honest here.. I live in Seattle, Coppper River is in full swing, the sun is shining, the sky is blue.. well, you get the picture.

I have cooked salmon a lot of different ways. Pan seared, roasted, slow roasted, grilled, steamed, poached. I should probably not get into my obsession with raw salmon either… Lets just say, more than once have a put a side of salmon in front of me, ready to fillet up for a party, and trimmed off the entire belly, just so I get that wonderful fatty cut for myself to eat raw whilst I am cooking. Sorry guests, no belly for you.

I don’t like eating hot food cold.. even if it means a good photo, and I generally (there are exceptions..) don’t like to piss guests off either by making them wait for theirs..

Clam and Pork Belly Soup (Clam Chowder!)

Clam Chowder Recipe

Clam chowder. If there is one seafood soup that just about everyone in the US has at some point eaten, it would most likely be that of clam chowder.

Like everything, there is the good and the bad. I have fortunately, and unfortunately eaten my fair share of both. When it is good, we are talking rich, definable pieces of food in a creamy broth, and a real seafood presence. When it is bad, we are talking a pureed mess that closer resembles the result of a Friday night of heavy drinking.. (you get where I am going..)
