Two and a half weeks after Alaska's Copper River opened for the season, fillets of fresh wild sockeye salmon went on sale today at Costco Wholesale in Teterboro.
If the past is any guide, the Teterboro Costco will offer fresh wild sockeye, coho and king salmon from the United States and Canada until October.
That's roughly four months of enjoying one of the world's greatest fish for eating.
I bought a 1.7 pound skin-on sockeye salmon fillet ($16.99 a pound), added a little sea salt and cooked seven serving pieces on a preheated stove-top grill over a medium-high flame for a total of eight minutes, turning them once.
I topped the fish with a reduction of organic diced tomatoes, red wine, lemon juice and seasonings, and threw on chopped fresh mint, oregano and rosemary from my garden.
Just outstanding. As good as I remember from last year. As the weeks go by, the price of fresh wild salmon is expected to go down to around $10 a pound.
The sockeye I bought today in Teterboro was $2 more a pound than at a Costco in Alaska last week.
