pink salmon

[jjmoffett]

seeing as this is a pink year i was just wondering if anybody had a tasty way too prepare them or is it straight to the smoker!!!!

Option 1- butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, bit of fresh ginger, pepper in a pot. Simmer till combined, but don't boil or it can turn into hard candy if you leave it too long.
Baste on to your filets while it barbecues. Skin side for 3/4ths of the time, flesh side for 1/4.
Best with a pink that is bled and iced right away and eaten that night.
Option 2- freeze then smoke if you don't have anything better left in the freezer.
Option 3- freeze then eat whenever you are tempted to buy farmed fish, because it is still way better.
Option 4 - bait
Option 4

Straight to the BBQ, within hours of catching! I find pinks bbq up really nice.

Pinks don't keep well or freeze well, they get mushy. But as long as very fresh, any of the usual salmon recipes should work out fine. A different texture than the others, maybe not quite as firm, but still tasty.

Heads make good Hallie bait on a big circle hook

Deep fry it in batter just like you would Halibut[]
