Salmon with garlic scapes

The Baker Lake sockeye were running on the Skagit River. Fresh, bright red and full of eggs. These were filleted for a dinner meal. I am harvesting garlic scapes from our garden and I selected three to chop for this recipe. I always have butter on hand for cooking and baking.

Ingredients

Sockeye, fillet for two

Butter, 1 T

Garlic scapes, 3 chopped

Preparation

Cut parchment paper to cover a small baking sheet. Rinse, pat dry salmon. Place skin side down on parchment paper. Cut butter into 5 pieces and dot top of salmon. Chop garlic scapes in 1/4-inch pieces. Place on top of salmon. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 40 minutes. The garlic flavor infuses the butter and enriches the salmon.
