Chum Salmon thrash their way across Highway 101 north of Shelton as the waters of the Skokomish River roll over the road Monday afternoon, November 6, 2006. (Steven M. Herppich/the Olympian)
Bourbon Glazed Salmon
4 servings
4 6 8 ounce salmon fillets or steaks
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup bourbon
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup orange juice
1 lemon, juice only
1/4 cup olive oil
Combine pepper, sugar, bourbon, soy, hoisin, garlic, orange juice and lemon juice in a medium bowl and whisk to blend. While whisking, add oil in a thin stream to emulsify. Place salmon in a glass or plastic container or large zipper lock bag. Pour marinade over salmon and refrigerate 4 8 hours. Remove salmon from marinade, pat fish dry with paper towels and air-dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Grill fish over medium-hot coals until just-cooked.
Cooking Tip For a little more flavor, heat the marinade in a saucepan over medium heat until liquid is reduced by one-half. Baste fish with reduced marinade just before removing from the grill.
But it's an accurate analogy!
Ugh...that's going to be a mess when the water goes down!
Meanwhile, our server room has sprung a leak. Luckily it's in a corner without a lot of equipment, and it was mostly just bad last night. But that's just not a good thing.
Is that stretch of road marked "salmon crossing"?
Dark and rainy here all day long. That depresses a lot of the RAT vote, but not the dead or never-existed.
Today is also an official UAW holiday, so "workers" can drink and vote all day long.
That's a disturbing photo!
Could be worse...
