Not a camper myself but two books that have recipes and wonderful memories of camping are Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ “Cross Creek Cookery” and “Our Daily Bread” chapter in “Cross Creek.” She recounts a wonderful meal on a fishing trip deep in the Everglades in which she baked rolls in a spider on the tiny boat. She’s a heavenly writer much forgotten today, it seems.
This is a neat no-sweat trick to cook salmon deliciously succulent.
Bring a saute pan of water, wine, or plain water (or a combo of liquids) to a rolling boil. At the boil, place foil-wrapped salmon into the boiling liquid.
TURN OFF THE HEAT UNDER THE PAN. Now go on your merry way-—just forget about the salmon. Do chores or cook the remainder of your meal.
When you take the salmon out of the liquid, plate it, and serve....you get a perfectly cooked main course.
NOTE: Before foil-wrapping the salmon, you can top it w/ lemon slices, freh herb sprigs, etc. Msybe a sprinkle of G/Mrnier if serving the salmon w/ an orange or mango sauce.
