This actually happened: Well, hello there beautiful piece of Copper River King Salmon. Whatever shall I do with you? Goes off to consult cookbook. Hey! The recipe in this cookbook is even specifically for Copper River King Salmon! Looks like this is what’s for dinner.

So, yeah, that’s kind of how I decided on this one (besides the fact that it looked awesome). And yeah, it seems kind of fussy what with the marinade and the two sauces, but if it’s a weekend and you have time to get stuff together earlier in the day, it’s pretty easy.

Besides, the King Salmon works just amazingly with the wasabi aioli and the bok choy. I’m usually not a huge fan of bok choy (it always seems too bitter to me), but the Soy-Maple drizzle was so good at balancing out that bitterness.
