Chefs Go Wild

Thompson is just a bit more equivocal than Johnson regarding the immediacy of dam removal. “[PacifiCorp] certainly can’t believe that it’s economically feasible to spend the money for the fish ladders that are required to operate the dams,” he pointed out, adding, “I think when the numbers are right they will probably move on it.”

In closing Thompson offered his preferred method of wild salmon preparation: brine the fish and barbecue it. He also had a suggestion for a wine to accompany your grilled salmon meal, a Bonterra Vineyards wine that includes some of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes he grows at his place in St. Helena.

“They’re organic,” he noted.

I’m guessing Alice would approve.
