Kenai Riverfront Salmon Bake

Last summer proved to be another great summer on the Kenai River, and one of the highlights once again was our weekly "Kenai Riverfront Alaskan Salmon Bake".  We enjoyed exploring new fish recipes with guests and friends, complimented by some incredible side dishes and family favorites brought by everyone. 

The perennial favorite by far is still our Jalapeno Halibut Poppers, followed closely behind by the Coconut Salmon with Thai Chile Sauce.  Check out these recipes in our Alaska Cooking Blog, and explore many other Family Favorite recipes, Delicious Desserts, as well as a taste of our Alaskan Brunch recipes too.  Cindy's Seafood Chowder with Alaskan Razor Clams, Grilled Halibut, Alaskan Side-Striped Shrimp (thanks Dave & Irina) was a big hit too--recipe available on special request by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

Our Cajun Cedar Salmon was featured in the ABC Television show "Exploring Alaska" which airs every Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm in Alaska and around the world on cable networks, and continues to be a staple of nearly every salmon bake we enjoy.  Something about that smokey, sweet salmon keeps guests coming back for more.

My personal favorite (in more ways than one) is shown below.  "Halibut Switzerland",presented below by my lifelong sweetheart.  The recipe is available on our website too...for the fish that is.
