Alaskan Smoked Salmon Dip


This recipe is a bit delayed, but better late than never! At the end of the summer my family and I traveled north to Alaska and it was by far the coolest vacation we've ever taken. My uncle Bill has been in Anchorage for the past few years, so we stayed with him and traveled to a few other cities. Here are some highlights from the trip:

K2 Aviation Flight with glacier landing
Bear spotting at Denali National Park
Glacier hiking at Matanuska
Glacier boat cruise in Seward
On top of all the fun sightseeing, we ate some really good food and drank some great locally-brewed beer. On one of our last nights in town, we made a feast with Bill's freshly caught caribou from his hunting trip the weekend before. He seasoned each slice with salt and pepper, wrapped them in bacon and grilled them until tender. I added this smoked salmon dip to the meal with Alaskan salmon Bill had caught himself and brought to a smokehouse. I don't think I can ever eat store-bought smoked salmon again. It was unreal how amazing the fresh salmon was, and combined with the caribou it made for a perfect Alaskan meal!

That is part of seabird life and puffins often wisely choose to nest on secluded offshore islands where gulls are less abundant. Of more concern in several parts of the world are mammal predators who are not native to puffin breeding grounds and so not natural predators.

    Jordan Reveal Premium Black, Following the NBA's lead, Major League Soccer announced last week that it was suspending its season for at least 30 days, amid the coronavirus outbreak. The National Women's Soccer League has canceled all preseason games as well. On the heels of those announcements, Timbers and Thorns owner Merritt Paulson released a statement Sunday saying that the organization would be creating a fund to support its several hundred part time employees."At our clubs, we are very concerned about our most at risk employees and will soon be announcing a fund to ensure our hourly workers continue to get paid regardless of event cancellations," Paulson said in the statement.Still, anxiety remains high among many of those part time employees as they wait to see what the plans from the two teams will look like.
