Copper River Salmon?

Unknown · May 2006

Just invested in some Copper River salmon from Whole Foods today (reeeeallly pricy fish), and now I am sort of at a loss in how to prepare it. [p]Something this special has to be right, and for the price it better be right the first time, lol. Any recipe/technique suggestions?[p]Thanks[p]Ben

Ben,
However you cook it, don't overcook it. -RP

Ben, I'm a big fan of Copper River Salmon even at $18 a pound I have to pay here in Illinois. CR is rich in taste if you don't even want to embellish it, but if you do here's our favorite recipe.

Ben,
You should keep it simple with such quality, try Fresh squezed lemon juice, Dill and a dash of paprika for asthetics. cooked on an alder plank, Good Luck Jason

All Alaska wild caught salmon is just as good (and exactly the same). Save yourself some dollars and buy regular 'ol wild caught Alaska salmon - Copper River has become a brand name in a sense, and it's nothing special.
That being said - if you are going to go ahead and fork out the fortune for the salmon, go for the sockeye (red salmon) rather than the king because it has a lot more flavor. Kings are great, but if you want more bang for your buck go for the sockeye.
Coho/ silver is also really good, but it is much lighter in flavor. Cohos have a very different digestive process than the rest of the salmon which affects their meat, so unless I caught it myself I wouldn't eat it.
Pinks (humpies) and Chum (dogs)are icky. I guess if I was stranded and dying.....[p]You guys have me thinking though... maybe I could trade fish for lump since I can't get that up here.
Hmmmm..
