More knot tying
Remember this classic (if I do say so myself) Paradosis post from March 3, 2003?
If you are a serious angler and you REALLY want to practice your apathia, try taking a 7 year old fishing. Furthermore, try having that same 7 year old, who must have snagged the anchor rope 800 times, outfish you. Humility indeed! Though in my defense, I had to neglect all of my fishing time by providing for her ability to fish via knot untangling and snag releasing. Ahhhh...the essence of parenting captured in a single days adventure. Worth it?
YOU BET!
But, when I am left to practice my art without children?
You bring the beer and I'll BBQ the slamon.

By the way...I just noticed: here is the smile :) so lacking in all those fish pictures...I must be trying to look like some BA fisherman or something.
It's the whole: ugh ugh providing meat for family thing going on.
...Pan fried salmon with herbs and pepper, baby green beans in green onion and olive oil sautee with a cucumber salad in ranch, glass of wine and garlic bread....waaaaaaaah! (That's for the grownups. The kids can eat fishstix in the back yard....)
Ok...my most common recipe is quite simple:
Set the fillet in a tray made by hand with aluminum foil. Lay upon the fillet copious amounts of fresh garlic, onions, peppers, and BUTTER (the real stuff - accept no substitutes, ahem except during fasts). Make sure the juices will be collected in the tray you constructed out of the foil. Then construct a cover to seal the juices in.
Rain or shine, take that sucker outside and BBQ it - preferably on a real charcoal heat source. Cook until flakey.
Another variation apparently popular among local native americans is to lay strips of bacon across the salmon - I can attest to this being quite good.
My wife has an excellent salmon chowder recipe which she makes from scraps I collect with a fine knife after I take the main fillets off the fish - VERY TASTY.
And of course I also like to smoke some of the fish.
A fine IPA would suit me better than wine, thank you.
:)
White wine is for wimps and does not have enough alcohol in it to make me happy.
