I believe we met while you were here for the Salmon Jam and Media Event. I think you did a fabulous job showcasing our little town and the way it operates. I had the pleasure of cooking for Dominic Cerino and Regan Reik and still have the planks in the photos above. I hope to see you again next summer for another toast to Wild Salmon. Thanks!! Hello,

Just shows how versatile rice is. Your soy-mirin salmon sounds good. My fresh fillets are still in the freezer awaiting a weekend to grill them over cedar planks. I have tried the smoked salmon, though. Used it to top pizza made with caramelized onions, marinated mozzarella balls, capers, and fresh basil from my garden. It was pretty tasty, especially because the smoked salmon had such incredible flavor and richness. Ahhh, I miss Alaska already.

This just reminded me of some cross cultural stories about fish with head and so forth. Got to write them up one day. I just had a piece of salmon today - grilled shiyoyaki style - salt-sugar or in my case tonight: soy-mirin. So yummy. I can't believe how meltingly tender the Alaskan salmon is. I'm floored every time I take some out of the freezer and make it. I always think of my dear (middle American white, Ohian) great auntie eating cold rice with milk and sugar - aiyaa! - while we munched on our leftover rice with bonito and seaweed and soy sauce. (imagine her horror?!) this was back in the late 60's early 70's - No One in Ohio had seen bonito or seaweed...i Guarantee it.) Poor thing. Must've thought my father had married a savage...never let on though. Sweet she was. -JC Oy. This just reminded me of some cross cultural stories about fish with head and so forth.
