getting really good, fresh salmon down here is tuff at times. not all from store is frozen. i can get 'next day' catch, was in Atlantic day before swimming... at one store's fish market counter. if i catch it, lol... it i catch it just right and it has been just delivered in from airport... is jetted in in containers on ice, covered in ice... refer compartments on jets... it is over the top. but i have to buy a full side of it as a minimum. 3-4# each side. even the 'fresh' from that in the counter can be iffy. i have taken it back before. once the fish department manager understands i am from PNW and i know salmon... and i remind him his dept supposed to be best in town... well, i get their attention!
. lol. and they listen to me. i can get ok salmon, not bad... and really great! but have to make an effort. be right place at right time. no fish should ever taste fishy! i won't go for it!! not over the counter or in restaurant. for the price they charge for fresh cod, it better be fresh, for example. issue is top layer may sit in container all day or afternoon... etc. why i dont buy in morning. and i always insist on something under something else... the ok salmon is usually on sale, the not bad a bit more... and really great never on sale! lol. this week: $10.27/#. but i can get a full side for $6/98/# ... up 75-cents from couple weeks ago when i was there. so issue then is... pay the premium for best, or pay for 'almost as good' at less. it has 100% guarantee. havn't bot it there, but plan to... ck it out. reportedly not frozen! will ask head butcher to confirm...you are right about the overcooking. and how to best prepare it. even broiled it can be and should be... as tender as poached. i did this under broiler at 9/10 mins in a fully heat soaked oven. delicious. but next time will cut back to 6/7 mins... or about like it was when i cked it...
'over the top' when i scooped up some of the melted brown sugar off the parchment.
but nothing compares to the PNW and the cold waters there when salmon running and cooked same day! steelhead, too
well, maybe Alaska! equally

Everything we cook lately has been on the grill, too hot inside to use the stove and we don't have ac. Was 95 in the house yesterday! I do the fries on the grill as well!
hi grz - hate to hear so hot there ... especially in the house!
we got a/c... but i am never too far from worrying about it quitting!
We live at 3,600', the heat only gets like this a couple of times a yr. so no real need for ac, I have Arizona coolers installed on our coverd porch overlooking the American River, with a large ceiling fan to help move the air, we survive pretty well.hi grz - hate to hear so hot there ... especially in the house!
Tonight will be Venison backstrap and corn on the cob in the Weber Kettle.
Going to reverse sear the strap. Will be delicious as always.
