Juniper salmon

Cat

[p]I tried a new (for me) rub on a 2 lb. salmon fillet tonight: 2 T juniper berries, put through a spice grinder; 2 T kosher salt; 4 T brown sugar; 1 tsp fresh-ground black pepper. Sprinkled generously on the flesh side, wrapped & refrigerated for 5 hours. The recipe - from Joyce Goldstein's book 'Back to Square One' - says to marinate from 4 up to 12 hours.[p]This originated with the Indians in the Pacific Northwest, who nailed the fish to a board & smoked it. Joyce suggests grilling or broiling, a thoughtful gesture for unfortunates without a BGE. ;-} I smoked it with some alder chips for about an hour at 220. [p]This one's a keeper. Juniper & salmon are wonderful together.

Cat,
Sometimes you find flavors that really work together...and when you have it...you know it.
Thanks for the tips.

Cat, Thank you for your recipe!
My wife of 33 - soon to be 34 years - loves your rib recipe and I ordered MANY - God only knows how MANY Juniper berries in that bag from Penkzies..."12 berries this time and 12 berries next time" I probably ordered enough for a lifetime times four! RRP
