    Salmon, is it worth the knife?

    So many easy ways to cook it.
    I like to grill fillets with skin on, with a silicone mat or cedar plank. A simple light season of salt, and garlic pepper. I also like with teriyaki sauce. Some like to lightly brush on maple syrup.

    I also actually fry it too, same as walleye or perch. I cut up the big fillets in small nugget sizes. A simple fry recipe is to soak nuggets in buffalo sauce, then coat in flour, then deep fry.... thank me later ;)
