Introduction to salmon

Salmon on a grill is absolutely delicious. It can, however, be a bit tricky. If you are the kind of person who can burn water on the stove, here are some great tips. First of all, you want to leave the skin on the salmon. This will help the salmon cook all the way through without charring the meat. Heat your grill to medium high heat.

The next thing you want to do is rub or brush the skin of the salmon with a bit of olive oil. This is one of the greatest tips on how to cook salmon. The olive oil on the skin helps bring out the flavor of the meat. The small layer of fat on the skin also helps with flavor.

All five types of Alaskan salmon are prevalent in the Chilkat including silver, red, and king salmon. Dolly varden, steelhead trout and cutthroat trout are also available. This area also serves as an important bald eagle habitat, so there may be eagles fishing along with you. The Chilkat River is near Skagway and Haines, so you can use either city as a base to fish from.
