SALMON WITH VEGETABLE SALSA
This recipe is delightful. You can pair the salsa with grilled chicken breasts or barbecued shrimp kabobs, too. The only fresh ingredient not available in my son's garden was the avocado! Make a double batch of the salsa to serve with crisp tortilla chips. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

GRILLED SALMON WITH VEGETABLES
Being an Alaskan, I am always looking for new ways to prepare salmon. I came up with this recipe and have had people who don't even like salmon tell me it's good. We usually cook this on our grill but I have done it in the oven also and it has turned out just as good. Practically within throwing distance of the Copper River, I prefer Copper River red salmon, however, silver and king salmon work great as well!

ROASTED SALMON WITH SALSA VERDE
Steps:
- For salmon: Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat salmon dry inside and out with paper towels. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Center 36x18-inch heavy-duty foil sheet over heavy large baking sheet. Spray foil with oil spray. Place salmon diagonally on foil. Stuff with lemon and herb sprigs. Close salmon opening. Drizzle oil over salmon. Spray another sheet of foil with oil spray. Place foil sprayed side down over salmon. Crimp foil sheet edges together to seal salmon completely.
- Bake salmon until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of salmon registers 150°F, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove top sheet of foil. Spoon all juices from salmon into small saucepan. Peel off skin from top of salmon. Scrape off any dark salmon meat. Let salmon cool 1 hour at room temperature. Boil reserved salmon juice until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes. Cool. Cover salmon and reduced salmon juice separately and refrigerate overnight.
- Place platter atop salmon. Invert salmon onto platter. Remove foil. Peel off skin. Scrape off any dark meat. Garnish with dill and lemon. Serve with salsa verde.
Tips:
- Select the freshest salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon with a bright pink color and firm texture. Avoid farmed salmon, as it often contains higher levels of contaminants.
- Choose ripe and flavorful vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salsa will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and peppers.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your salsa. Some good options include corn, black beans, avocado, and mango.
- Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add a pinch of chili powder or cumin for a little extra flavor.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
