What makes this recipe special?
Seattle's prime location on Puget Sound means that our fish is both local and fresh caught. One of the most iconic places in Seattle is the fish market in Pike Place (not Pike's Place!). People come from all around the world to watch fishmongers throw salmon around before grabbing some smoked salmon to take home to their family. Seattle is also a gateway for the endangered Chinook salmon, which migrate from the rivers in the Cascade Mountains to Puget Sound.
Much like the RTI Seattle office, this recipe takes something from the South (Duke's mayo) and combines it with something from the Pacific Northwest (salmon). The mayo keeps the fish moist, which is helpful in a dish that is so often overcooked. We suggest lemon and parsley with this dish, but you could use a variety of different herbs and spices. Enjoy!
