This is probably one of the easiest recipes you can make on the Egg. Takes about 10 minutes of prep and cooks in about another 20 minutes.

I seasoned these liberally with Raging River and glazed with butter/maple syrup throughout the cook.



Things were getting a little spicy at this point.



Doesn't that look good?

Even got a plate shot with some table flowers, backup brussels sprouts, and some farmers market strawberries.

    Great and simple cook, as you note.  Excellent photos as well.  The maple syrup glaze really impacts the flavour (nod). Congrats on the entire banquet.

    I've always gotten sashimi grade Atlantic salmon from Sam's and cooked it similar to this (soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger) but Sam's changed their salmon and the quality isn't near what it used to be. It's no longer listed as sashimi grade, it's not bad but not near as good as it used to be.
    Yours looks awesome by the way!!

    Sashimi grade is a bit of a mixed bag as is true for many food labels in general. I'm not brave enough to eat any raw fish I personally source. I have eaten plenty at local sushi restaurants so I'm game there.

    As relates to Atlantic (aka farm raised salmon), vs wild, I think both have their place. I treat our Alaskan salmon as a family luxury food, like a SRF beef product or a heritage turkey. It's just wild salmon is one we happen to eat quite frequently!
