    Don, I'm with you on this one. This is my all time favorite way to do salmon. Yours looks delicious!! Great pictures. Chris told me to try 1/3 butter, 2/3 maple syrup and a splash of soy sauce for the glaze. I make it once a week as well and my family begs for it. I've also made it for guests and they rave about it, most say it's the best salmon they've ever had.

    I made it last night too, for the first time. It was a little sweet for me so next time I will try the soy sauce.

    My 14 and 16 year old daughters coined the phrase "fish haters fish" for this recipe. They refuse to eat all forms of fish, but wolf down two or three servings of this everytime I make it.

    I'm not a salmon eater, but my wife likes it so I want to cook some. I did the Dizzy Pig / Maple glaze combo and it knocked her socks off, so I want to cook it again.

    Question on the salmon itself: I've been told that Pacific Wild Salmon is the best. I was at Costco today and saw Atlantic salmon and Farm raised salmon, but no Pacific wild, so I didn't buy any. Is there a big difference in the three different types?

    Thanks.

    One huge issue is sustainability/environmental impact. Virtually all Atlantic salmon is farm raised. The method of farm raising used is eliminating the native wild salmon's habitat (it uses much of the same waters) as well as causing serious health problems for the remaining wild salmon in the area. Farmed salmon are passing a parasite onto the wild salmon which is sickening the wild ones. The various seafood watch groups have Atlantic/farmed salmon on the "avoid" list.

    The other issue is flavor and color. Being farmed, Atlantic salmon are fed a commercial diet. Coloring ingredients are often added to help give the farmed salmon the pretty deep pink color that you see in wild (particularly Pacific) salmon.

    Virtually all Pacific salmon is wild caught and there are sustainability controls in place. Pacific salmon is on the "recommended" list by seafood watch groups.

    It's only wild Pacific salmon for me, from now on.

    I really appreciate your post. :)

    Thanks, Gary. We learned about how devastating the salmon farming was to the native salmon when we were in Maine this past summer. Before that, we only knew wild Pacific salmon tasted better.

    An acceptable farm-raised alternative is Arctic Char, but I have yet to find it at any store in Texas (including Central Market).

    I'm also wanting to try sablefish/black cod as an alternative to the overfished (Chilean Seabass (aka Patagonian Toothfish), but haven't found that, either.

    Timely topic, as I'm doing the Raging River (wild Pacific) maple glazed salmon for dinner tonight!
