Lingonberry-Lacquered Coho Salmon with Cajun Alaska Barley Couscous
Celebrate the flavors of an Alaska autumn with Lingonberry-Lacquered Coho Salmon, served alongside hearty Cajun Alaska barley couscous with wild mushrooms. Lingonberries (often referred to as lowbush cranberries) are abundant throughout Alaska and are a beloved wild berry of the fall season.
The salmon is brushed with a sweet-tart glaze of wild Alaska lingonberries, Alaska birch syrup, and warming Cajun spices, creating a delicious balance of vibrant berry flavor and gentle heat. Paired with savory barley couscous, earthy wild mushrooms, and topped with crispy fried onions, this dish is a beautiful celebration of Alaska’s autumn harvest and seasonal abundance.
