MONDAY MAPLE SALMON

There is quite an assortment of vessels to watch

out on the water now that everyone is coming

back to town. At any time you can watch mega

yachts driving by next to commercial fishing

boats and the huge Coast Guard cutter.

Today I thought this was interesting:

The first barge had 2 huge mounds of sand or gravel and

is headed towards the airport.

The 2nd barge has a huge crane on it, along with assorted

other vehicles and equipment. We only have one road

through town, so it probably makes a whole lot more

sense to move this stuff on the water rather than

getting out and blocking traffic for miles.

Our part-time neighbor is here now and has been out

fishing a few times. He doesn't keep all of the salmon

he catches, he brings us quite a bit of it. I am always

looking for new ways to fix salmon and came across

this recipe that is kind of a teriyaki that is made

with maple syrup. It is really good and very easy.

It is as simple as mixing a few ingredients

pour them over the fish in the pan, marinate

for 30 minutes and cook for 20 minutes

at 400 degrees.

Delicious!
