It’s funny how our tastes change as we get older. When I was young the only seafood I ate was king crab, jumbo lump crab, shrimp, lobster, clams and tuna out of a can. Every Christmas my family had a seafood feast with all of them and my grandmother made what we call burned butter. The butter is browned to where it is almost burned and the flavor is incredible. I’ve had drawn butter for lobster and clams at fine dining restaurants and there is no comparison, burned butter reigns superior in my book.

That was about all the seafood I had growing up because my mom lead me to believe the rest was not good. Salmon was not an option to me, it was fishy so that was out, well…according to my mom it is fishy so I assumed it was too. Today I eat it raw and just about any other way. I love salmon and I love to use my grill. I hope you enjoy my Asian Salmon in Cedar Paper.
