Columbia River salmon

Hi Mike, the salmon looks really bad!!! Maybe you should fix up a batch just like that and send it to Indiana so you won't have to suffer through eating it!!! :lol:
 
Looks tasty. Any chance you can describe how you cooked that and what else you threw in besides mushrooms? I still haven't figured out the best way to cook salmon and your method looks great.

Yes Mike, please impart.

I love salmon and I love mushrooms yet I never thought of combining them.

BUT, I never thought that barbeque sauce could be good on salmon, BUT IT IS ! :smiled

I can't cook much at all, and the fish is simple done like that. The neat part is the kids like it, which is a huge accomplishment for me!

I use a secret recipe of two herbs and spices on everything I BBQ (salt and pepper). Olive oil on the bottom of the fish, margarine on the top, then sprinkle on the two special spices. I leave the foil tray uncovered but close the lid on the little propane BBQ and cook on the lowest setting. I also put a few layers of foil under the tray to keep the heat down. We pick at the thickest part with a fork and take little bites once in a while until it is done enough. That's it. All you taste is the fish. No slathering of mayo needed.

The mushrooms were an afterthought. They were already sliced up so I poured them in there. They weren't anything special and I won't bother again. Better off to saute them like you're supposed to.
 
That is where our salmon went. None (or damn few)showed up here in the Cook Inlet or Kenai River.
We have found some feeders (with Canadian flags in their little tails) so we are trying to refrain some from going back to "hey-land".

If you were only expecting one decent fish, then yeah, maybe that is it. The fishing here is strange this year so far. Lots of ugly hatchery chinook in the river but very few fish to be found in the ocean. The silvers haven't shown up yet at all. We spent six hours out there today and released one little native, lost a couple strong fish after hookup, and had a few takedowns without hookup. None in the box. Very unusual for mid August. Normally we wouldn't be able to get more than one or two lines in the water before a hit. Weird. Not just me, either. I've seen very few fish caught out there this year. I don't know what to make of it and I'm sorry to hear your fish are missing too.
