one alaskan salmon

It pays to know people who honeymoon in Alaska!  mr. roundy and I were very flattered to cook up our friends Alaskan salmon caught on their recent honeymoon.  We used a Sam the Cooking Guy recipe, paired it with some delicious Julian Hard Cider and finished up with pumpkin carving.  Thank you mr. and mrs. Wagner.
