Deviled eggs are one of those foods I have a hard time controlling myself with. I've been known to eat a dozen at a sitting, and even though I know I'll feel ill afterwards, I can't stop eating them. These deviled eggs, made with smoked salmon, are especially good.
Salmon and Trout
Salmon salad. Pretty ordinary, right? My version, as you might expect, comes with a twist: It's made by grilling everything but the main fillets, then stripping the meat for this salad. Thrifty, and awesome.
Recipe
If you've never paired salmon with cucumbers, you are missing out. It's a surprisingly natural combination, and since both are in season now, I thought I'd put them together in a pretty little date-night dish.
Salmon and Trout
When life gives you salmon, LOTS of salmon, make salmon patties. Sure, you can make these with regular cuts, but I prefer to make my salmon patties from "spoon meat," which you scrape from the carcass. Here's how to do it.

Salmon and Trout
Think of this as a Scandinavian summertime dish: Gently poached salmon served simply, with a mixture of sour cream, horseradish and dill. Perfect with little fingerling potatoes. Simple, but seriously good.
Salmon and Trout
Salmon candy is a special kind of smoked salmon that's been cut into strips, dry cured with sugar and salt, painted with birch or maple syrup, then heavily smoked almost to the point of jerky. It's one of the more addictive trail foods ever made by humankind.
Salmon and Trout
Every spring I create a dish that celebrates spring's colors, which for me are green and gold. Here is this year's edition, a trout dish that is as simple as it is pretty.
Fish
Trout with morels, ramps and fiddleheads is a classic combination - all are in season at the same time, and in the same place. Even in the High Sierra, we have our own rendition, with bracken fiddleheads and Sierra wild onions. I call this dish Sierra Spring.
Fish
Live long enough and you will start forgetting about all those fish you've caught over the years. It takes a rare combination of time, place and fish to vault one from that nameless school and into your memory. It all came together recently for me in Nevada with a monster trout.
Recipe
Behold, one of the most vividly beautiful recipes I've made in a long time. Salmon Swedish style, with vattlingon. It screams Christmas, right? Wrong. This dish can only be made in springtime. Read more to find out why...
