This is a recipe that our father-in-law, Dana F. Besecker, used to make during his time fishing off of Lummi Island in the 1970's. It's a family favorite and guaranteed crowd pleaser. We have many fond memories of Dana over the grill with sides of salmon, always happy to share with his friends and family.
