Pan Seared Salmon
Coming from Alaska, I have easy access to Alaskan King Salmon. My dad is a recreational fisherman during the summers. When he collects his quota for the season, he ships me loads of fish coming from the beautiful cold waters of the very place I call home.
I receive a variety of Alaskan salmon, sea bass, and halibut. Majority of the proteins I eat at home are from the wild. It gives me a chance to make new delicious recipes perfect for the summer. I prefer fish cooked on the grill or pan seared in cast iron.

Wild salmon is good, we don’t eat any farmed fish.
