Tastes Like Food

One of our favorite summer time entrees is this Ginger Tamari Salmon poached in a foil packet on the grill. The foil keeps all the flavors. We were lucky to learn about this recipe from our friend Earth in Boulder.

Preparation is very easy!

Ingredients:

• salmon (either fresh or previously frozen)
• tamari
• ginger root

Preparation:

1. Put your salmon filets on a large sheet of foil.
2. Make a few tiny slices in the salmon filets.
3. Fill slices with crushed ginger (a garlic press is the best for this, you’ll need some arm strength!) Use about a 1 inch x 1 inch chunk of fresh ginger root.
4. Splash liberally with tamari sauce (about 3-4 tablespoons) and let the tamari that rolls off the salmon stay in the bottom of the foil.
5. Fold up the foil, so it’s a small pocket around the salmon (not air tight).
6. Cook on a medium grill about 12-15 minutes.

Note: Fresh salmon is certainly the tastiest. But high quality frozen salmon is a very good option. We buy Orca Bay Wild Alaskan Salmon.
