Rosemary Smoked Sockeye Salmon Collars with Pilaf

By irvington

So I mixed black forbidden rice with brown basmati rice in a pilaf.  first i added onions, butter, crimini’s, and pheasant stock.  Then added the rices plus tumeric, cinnamon, raisins, and pine nuts.  I served that with the sockeye that was smoked over rosemary but first dusted with curry powder.

Sockeye is my favorite salmon.  It has a stronger taste and is more firm than King.  I wouldn’t eat any other kinds of salmon, I don’t think.  maybe coho in a pinch.

We drank a Five Star Cellars Syrah.  It was a bit too plush but did show good terroir of Walla Walla.  Then dessert was a Beeren Auslese.  Feeling giddy…
