2 salmon fillets (about 2 lbs. each)
4 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. liquid smoke

Place fillets skin side down, side by side, in a greased shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and brown sugar; drizzle with liquid smoke. Cover and refrigerate 4-8 hours. Drain any liquid. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Yield: 8 servings.

We fish commercially in front of our home on Cook Inlet. I developed this recipe as one of the many ways to enjoy our catch. This salmon dish is healthy and delicious served with steamed rice, broccoli and a salad.
