Nationally
renowned restaurateur Roger Berkowitz recently announced that his acclaimed Legal
Sea Foods chain now aims to double its use of Alaska Wild Salmon while reducing
use of the farmed product, and make Alaska Wild Salmon its salmon of choice.
Legal
has announced that it will be disclosing the origin of all salmon served in its
30 restaurants from Massachusetts to Florida, with a "seal of authenticity"
that will accompany every dish of Alaska Wild Salmon served.
As
part of this initiative, Legal's award-winning Executive Chef, Richard Vellante,
is developing some creative new recipes for Alaska Wild Salmon. They include this
delicious Asian-style dish, which Legal and Chef Vellante graciously offered for
our customers' use and enjoyment.

½
cup brown sugar 1/3 cup soy sauce 2 Tbs hoisin sauce 2 Tbs peeled

1 Tbs fresh lime juice 1-1/2 to 2 lbs Alaska Wild Salmon fillets
Place
the sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, dash of red pepper flakes, garlic

reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the sauce forms
a glaze. Set aside.

Remove the salmon from the heat and baste once more with the glaze before serving.

note: We
consider organic whole foods from both plant and animal kingdoms to be a major
key to superior health. We also think it's terribly important to eat fish at least
twice a week to get the essential fatty acids. Here at our house, we only eat
wild Alaskan salmon and other wild seafoods from our friends at Vital Choice.
