Wishing For Snow

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:01:00 +0000

This is my least favorite time in Alaska. All the leaves are gone the grasses are brown and it usually rains a lot. I love the first snow of the year. I covers up all this mess and the air smells so clean and it's visually pleasing to the eye. But it looks like I'm going to have to wait awhile as it has only frosted twice since last month.

Fall in Alaska

Sorry it's been so long in posting but life can be very complicated at times. So for now I thought I would share a picture of Fall in Alaska.

Tinfoil Salmon

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:38:00 +0000

I get asked every day what is the simplest and the best way to cook salmon. I have found that baking salmon tends to dry it out unless it is sealed very tightly in a container.
I take a nice fresh piece of salmon and lay it on a piece of foil and salt and pepper it. I also like a little garlic powder, a pat of butter,a slice of onion and a teaspoon of white wine. Seal the foil very well and bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Enjoy!

Peach Salsa & Grilled Yukon Salmon Burgers

Ingredients:
2 large peaches, peeled and diced
2 tbsp jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped (do not touch seeds with your bare hands)
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp Splenda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
4 Yukon Salmon Burgers
Preparation for Salsa:
Combine peaches, jalapeno and lemon juice in a medium bowl, then add splenda and mix well. Stir in salt and cilantro and toss gently to mix, set aside. I like to prepare this a couple hours ahead of time so the flavors have time to blend.
Preheat grill. Grill the burgers at medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. Turn burgers over and grill for about 3 minutes more. I like to serve the salsa on the side with the burgers, then you can add as much as you want.

Happy Easter

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 22:39:00 +0000

Happy Easter to everyone out there.
Well it looks like we will be hiding our Easter eggs in patches of snow or on globs of mud. It has warmed upto 46 today and we have all kinds of water turning into little creeks.
I and my dog Kiska are going to the beach this weekend and go for a long walk. You should see the sites on the beach. Huge icebergs are on shore, some taller than me. Is always interesting finding unusual items. I like to look for sea glass, have a container I keep pieces in and is very colorful. Pieces of silverware that I like to make windchimes out of or unusual pieces of driftwood and make them into windchimes. It is very peaceful and relaxing. Kiska loves to snoop and just about wears her nose out. Always see lots of eagles. I occasionally take the 4-wheeler and go with my kids and ride for miles, but Kiska likes it a lot better if I walk, she don't like riding, she can't smell everything, ha. Oh, she is a Beagle. Anyone else out there with a Beagle?

Springtime in Alaska!

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 23:04:00 +0000

Thank heavens the snow is starting to disappear! It is beautiful today, clear blue skies and lots of sun. The roads are very MESSY, lots of slush and mud. But who cares I can see dirt.
There are a lot of eagles out today, I think they like the change also.
As you can see I added a springtime recipe today, makes me want to grill every night with this awesome weather.
I am still working on the wine and seafood information, so don't give up.

Sockeye Salmon Shish Kabob

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 22:37:00 +0000

Ingredients:

6 medium white potatoes, well scrubbed
1 1/2# salmon fillets, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
2 medium green and yellow peppers, seeded and quartered
6 slices fresh pineapple, cored and cut into quarters
1 1/2 cups Italian salad dressing
1 cup barbecue sauce
12 skewers
Note: If using wooden skewers soak in water for at least an hour, so they don't scorch on grill.

Preparation:

Slice potatoes crosswise into 1/2 inch round slices. Cook potato slices in a large pot of boiling water for about 6 minutes. Drain, cool.
On each of 12 skewers, place ingredients in the following order: pepper to secure food, potato, pineapple, pepper, onion, salmon and another onion. Repeat, beginning with potato, until each skewer holds about 8 inches of food. End each skewer with pepper to secure. Continue with remaining skewers.
Place skewers in a 13 x 9 pan and drizzle Italian dressing over them. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in refrigerator for about an hour. Prepare grill.
When grill is ready, lightly oil the grill tray to prevent kebabs from sticking. Grill kebabs, turning and basting frequently with barbeque sauce, about 6-7 minutes or until brown.

I'M BACK!!

noreply@blogger.com (Fish Man) — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 17:51:00 +0000

Hi everyone!

Yes I am still alive. I will be back this coming week. Here it is 59 degrees today, no snow. I was on the Washington coast for a couple of days and oh the spring flowers are in bloom. Even the wild cherry trees were all pink. Was a beautiful trip. I went over on Stevens Pass and it snowed on me coming and going but only briefly. On the coast I got to experience driving on the ole freeways again, upto 4-5 lanes and going 70 mph. Boy it tests your ole driving skills. Went upto Tulalip Casino and played a little, a very pretty place. Did a lot of shopping in the outlet stores and malls. Our shopping is a little limited in our community so is quite a treat to go to the big city. My plans were changed a little so didn't go to Las Vegas this time.
