Despite having salmon EVERY SINGLE MEAL in Port Townsend, I came back home craving it. Luckily our family was happy to indulge me.
Rewind several days earlier to Port Townsend when Bookclub had dinner at Sweet Laurette where Laurette herself showed us to the table. It was one of our first meals in PT and that’s when I realized what a dining treat we were in for. Everything on the menu was fresh and local- Whidbey Island mussels from right across the Sound, a shamrock green pea soup, zucchini cakes and, of course, salmon, in this case topped with a Dijon mustard sauce.
Here’s simple recipe for salmon with mustard dill sauce which almost took me back to Port Townsend. If you can, splurge and buy wild salmon. You’ll see what I mean.
