minutesI love this dish. It is great for late summer dining. Salmon is a favorite fish and we are lucky to have access to local salmon. This dish is the essence of summer and Northern California Cuisine. Local wild salmon, fresh corn, tomatoes and zucchini makes this a delicious late summer dish. Everything tastes better when eaten in season and at its peak. My kids enjoy this as they tend to be more white fish fans but there are a few salmon dishes that they love and this is one. I serve this with brown rice or white Basmati rice.
