Wild Alaskan Coho Salmon Recipe

For all my American friends, I have a special wild Alaskan coho salmon recipe that has a classic subtle taste of spices. The simplicity of this meal is the highlight of the recipe. You can customize and further season as per your taste preference. To me, this dish is perfect with a glass of red wine and some good veggies. A perfect healthy lip-smacking meal.
