My Culinary Creations

Here are some of the creations I have made either for menus at the restaurant, or for some of the food shows that my crew and I have presented at. All the images are clickable for a larger image. You’ll notice a lot of Salmon recipes due to the fact that our restaurant name is Blackfish Wild Salmon Grill! Personally, I prefer Sockeye Salmon for the flavor, while those who prefer King Salmon generally prefer the fattier, more delicate texture. But, even though I prefer Sockeye…I would never turn down King Salmon!

Some of these images have recipes posted on this site…simply go to the recipe section to see if it is there.
