Broiled Salmon Dinner With Cooked Acorn Squash And Sauteed Onions, Celery And Tomatoes
Imagine what it would be like…
… You are standing knee-deep in the swiftly flowing stream, in Alaska’s Mat-Su Valley, north of Anchorage, fishing for the world-famous Alaskan King Salmon, near the head waters of the Deshka River…
… You are still frozen in place, watching, as a female black bear disappears with her two cubs around the bend in the trail as it meanders up the side of the river gorge… The scent of spruce, balsam poplar and damp ground fills your nostrils.
Suddenly, your world EXPLODES!
Something hits your 40-lb test mono-filament line with the expensive, stainless steel leader that you bought just this morning…
… Something bigger than you’ve ever hooked into before…
… The eerie silence next to the rushing river is shattered…
… The extra heavy-duty reel screams as you frantically apply the brake, you can feel the heat radiate from the gear-box as the line races off the reel faster than you have ever seen before…
… Then, 50 yards downstream… you see a gigantic fish, Godzilla with fins and a tail, jump… Jump like something out of a “Fishing Adventures” video… You wonder how this can possibly be happening to you as your guide makes a diving grab for the back of your belt…
… As you stand exhibiting your catch with its nose by your chest and its tail bent on the ground, your fishing guide snaps your picture… a picture of you and the biggest 58.39 pound fish you have ever caught…
… You’ve worked up an appetite and your mind drifts to dinner…
“Wake up, Pat … It’s time to start dinner…”
Broiled Salmon with Baked Acorn Squash and Sauteed Onions, Celery and Tomatoes for Dinner
Okay, okay, I admit that I haven’t been feeling up to par this week, so I asked my husband, Al, to help me a little with this post on our salmon dinner. He knows more about fishing for Salmon than I do 
! But, what I do know is…
… Eating salmon is good for us any place and any time of the year … not just during salmon fishing season in the Mat-Su Valley in the wilds of Alaska.
But, with the busy schedules we have in the fall, eating healthy isn’t always as easy as it should be. But cooking salmon for dinner definitely makes it do-able!
With its high nutrition and ease of cooking, salmon is a natural for a quick but elegant meal.
My husband and I both think that this combination of salmon, acorn squash and sautéed veggies is absolutely scrumptious.
And, to make it even better… if there are any leftovers, you can use them to brighten up almost any lunch, salad or side dish tomorrow.
Here’s how to make it…
