We had the great honor of sharing a family salmon recipe from Sharon Schlussel, wife of Pacific Spice’s President and the “First Lady” of Pacific Spice. Sharon’s Salmon Recipe is flawless in its simplicity. It’s seasoned, spritzed, and marinated to add depth and complexity to the salmon’s natural flavors, making it simultaneously light, filling, fragrant, and savory.
