We generally eat salmon once a week; so I am constantly looking for ingredient combinations to add to the fish. This was really good. I had a mature orange tree that died on me a year ago. I cut the wood into chunks for use in my smoker. Keeping with the citrus theme I decided to use the wood for hot smoking the salmon. This will be good grilled or baked as well.
I served the fish with annatto rice and grilled vegetables.
For a wine I chose a 2012 Rombauer Vineyards Carneros Valley Chardonnay. This is an oak aged chardonnay that is fruity but also buttery being aged in wood for many months. My wife likes the buttery chardonnays which are not terribly food friendly and must be matched with a proper food. The buttery taste from the macadamia nuts made this wine a good selection. Like they say--"happy wife, happy life."
