Copper River King w Fresh Garden Greens

Cafe 1853 has been involved in numerous summer activities which has slowed down the frequency of our posts, but here we are back again with one of our summer spectaculars! This dish is just as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate and yes, that is a perfectly grilled piece of Copper River salmon over garden to table edible flowers and baby greens.  The flowers are Nasturtiums & Violets (you guess which is which) and herbs are from our patio and the baby lettuce from a friends garden : fresh and organic either that day or within minutes of serving. Great little link on edible flowers http://www.wildthymefarm.com/permflowers2.html Top it if off simply with your best olive oil and balsamic with a little pepper and there you have it.  The salmon was done simply  on the grill with red & black pepper, salt and garlic powder.  You can look in our posts for how to have salmon come out perfect every time, its easy once you get the temperature and timing down. For you health freaks out there, it does not get any better than this and works for Paleo also. Oh, almost forgot the Copper River King is from www.geminifish.com stuff just amazing. To your health big time on this one, this is RJ Kirk @ Cafe 1853, Enjoy!
