sockeye salmon

Wild Smoked Sockeye Salmon, topped with a buttery Arugula, Spinach, and Walnut Pesto and cooked perfectly in the smoker.

Smoked Sockeye Salmon with Arugula, Spinach, and Walnut Pesto

lb sockeye salmon (with the skin)

kosher salt

cracked pepper

Arugula, Spinach, and Walnut Pesto

Prepare smoker to ~235F according to manufacturer's instructions. I used mesquite chips to smoke.

Lay the fish on a fish mat, skin side down. Schmear the pesto over top. I used roughly half the recipe of pesto for this dish.

Put the fish in the smoker. Use the internal temperature probe in the thickest part of the salmon. Cooking times will vary depending on how often you open the door to the smoker or how fast the wood burns, but cook to 145F internal temperature. For me, this was about 30 minutes.

Remove from the smoker and serve immediately. Yields: 4-6 servings.

Delicious sockeye cooked until moist and flakey in the oven!

Baked Sockeye Salmon

extra virgin olive oil

lemon (thinly sliced)

black pepper (freshly ground)

parsley (or dill (chopped))

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Place the sockeye on a work surface. Rub the fish with olive oil on all sides. Then sprinkle salt and pepper on top.

Put the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and place 4 lemon slices on top.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until medium-rare. Check doneness by inserting a knife tip into the thickest section and twisting - the flesh should appear slightly translucent. You can also insert an instant-read thermometer and look for an internal temperature of 130°F (see note).

Remove from the oven. Remove the skin using a fish spatula if desired.

Sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving.

Grilled Salmon with Elote-Style Veggies

salmon ¼

avocado oil

(or 2 large) ears of corn, husks removed

zucchini, end removed and cut lengthwise into ‘planks’

chili powder

cumin

cotija cheese, crumbled (may substitute feta

+ zest of 1 medium lime

fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and Pepper,

Optional for Serving: Sliced avocados and lime wedges

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400℉)

Brush the salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Brush the corn and sliced zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder.

When the grill is hot, place the corn and zucchini over the hottest part of the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes or until zucchini is grilled marked and the corn is lightly charred. Rotate the corn and flip the zucchini, cooking another 5-6 minutes or until corn is tender.

Add the salmon fillets to the grill skin-side down and cook for 10-12 minutes or until flesh is no longer opaque and it flakes easily with a fork.

When vegetables are tender and lightly charred, remove them to a plate (they may be done before the salmon is done depending on where they are on the grill).

Cut corn kernels from the cob and dice grilled zucchini into ¼-inch cubes. Place in a bowl, toss with lime juice and zest, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (salt, pepper, chili powder).

Serve vegetables over salmon with lime wedges.
