Acknowledgments I owe boundless gratitude to my family and friends who shared their time, energy and talent with me throughout the writing of this book. I wish to thank my fishermen friends who opened their lives and hearts in the past and present to me. Your adventuresome spirit is truly something to be admired. Thank you to Ellie Duree, for her tremendous support, understanding, assistance and much needed motivation. A special thank you to my parents Butch and Marian Mott, friends and neighbors who lined up at the door with enthu- siasm and excitement nearly every day while I was testing my recipes. You fueled me with ideas and inspiration. My in-laws Eric and Kay Gundersen, my sister-in-law Chris Mott and Ken and Lynora Eichner, thank you for your vital encouragement. Words alone cannot express the thanks I owe to Ole Gundersen, my husband, and the co-author of my life, who without complaint, supported me throughout this entire project. He took all the wonderful photos in this book and even washed a pot or two. This book would not have been possible without his vision. 7 contents Sailor’s Delight lunch 11 Introduction 40 Vintage-of-the-Sea Chowder 12 The stars of the show 41 Cranberry-Almond Salmon Sandwich 14 Naturally wild Alaska 43 Salmon Dill Croissant 15 Health benefits of wild Pacific salmon 44 Wild Salmon Quiche with Parmesan Crust 16 Tips and tricks on salmon 45 Mushroom, Salmon and Wild Rice Soup 18 The easy galley pantry 47 Smoked Salmon Club Sandwich 19 Top ten galley tools I can’t live without 48 Fresh Vegetable and Salmon Salad 20 How did a California girl end up on a 49 Black Bean and Salmon Tostadas fishing boat in Alaska? 50 Sassy Salmon Burgers with Savory Mint Sauce 21 Before you begin 52 Sesame Salmon Salad with Sugar Snap Peas 38 A day in the life 53 Smoked Salmon Egg Salad on Easy Grill Bread 82 At sea cuisine 54 Herb Fussilli and Salmon Salad 95 Salty superstitions 55 Lemon Salmon Burger with Creamy Basil Sauce 56 Avocado, Arugula and Smoked Salmon Salad morning bite breakfast and brunch 57 Roasted Garlic, Potato and Smoked Salmon Soup 24 Toasted Bagel with Smoked Salmon 58 Delicious Salmon, Corn and Potato Chowder 25 Wild About Salmon 60 Spicy Wild Salmon Sandwich 27 Herb Crêpes with Smoked Salmon and Lemon Zest 28 Fluffy Salmon Omelette 29 Whipped Eggs with Pink Salmon 30 Delightful Salmon Breakfast Quiche 31 Eggs and Smoked Salmon in a Puffed Pastry 33 Cheddar and Smoked Salmon Mini Frittatas 35 Easy Salmon and Cheddar Strata 8 mug up 100 Seared Salmon with Blueberry Salsa little bites 103 Oven Roasted Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa 64 Salmon Party Roll 105 Teriyaki Salmon with Shiitake Mushrooms and 65 Smoked Salmon in Cucumber Boats Fresh Chives 66 Summertime Salmon Bruschetta 107 Grilled Salmon Steaks with Soy Maple Glaze 68 Baked Mini Salmon Croquettes with 108 Grilled Salmon with Creamed Pesto Sauce Creamy Dill Sauce 110 Seared Salmon with Rice Pilaf 71 Classy Parmesan Basket 112 Roasted Red Pepper and Salmon Lasagna 72 Soft Spring Rolls with Smoked Salmon and Fresh Basil 74 Wild Alaska Kabobs Galley treats dessert 75 Smoked Salmon Dip 117 Lemon Meringue Pie 76 Mini Salmon and Herb Quiches 119 Nanaimo Bars 78 Salmon Salad Wonton Cups with Ginger-Lime Dressing 120 Cookie Crust Fudge Pie 121 Almost a Sin Dessert catch of the day main dishes 122 Brownie Cheesecake Torte 84 Baked Alaska Salmon Loaf with Gingered Salad 124 Banana Cream Pie with a 85 Curried Salmon Cakes Peanut Butter Cookie Crust 87 Apple Spiced Salmon 127 Sweet Potato Pecan Pie 88 Baked Mediterranean Salmon Casserole 128 Chocolate Mocha Baked Alaska 89 Tangy Citrus Grilled Salmon with Summer Greens 90 Linguine with Fresh Herbs, Goat Cheese and 131 How do we do it 24/7?
