In Part 2 of our six-part Alaska garden series, we celebrate salmon, one of the most treasured seasonal harvests in Alaska. As wild runs of salmon arrive in abundance, we’ll focus on simple, vibrant preparations that let this iconic fish shine alongside fresh garden produce.

Together, we’ll prepare:

• Savory Salmon Cakes – crisp on the outside and tender within, packed with fresh herbs and paired with a delightful saffron aioli.

• Coconut Salmon Salad – a refreshing, flavor-forward dish combining flaky salmon battered in crispy coconut served atop crisp greens, summer herbs, and a bright vinegarette dressing that brings a taste of sunshine to our northern tables.

Throughout class, we’ll cover techniques for working with fresh or previously frozen salmon, balancing richness with garden freshness, and creating adaptable recipes that celebrate what’s growing right now.

Join us as we honor Alaska’s summer abundance—bringing together sea and soil in nourishing, beautiful dishes that capture the spirit of the season.

Join us for our seasonal Garden Series where we celebrate cooking with what’s in season—and what’s in your basket. In this six-class series, we’ll learn how to confidently turn seasonal ingredients into complete, satisfying meals. We focus on the seasonal bounty of vegetables in our gardens or fish in our freezers.

These classes will focus on hands-on techniques, flexible recipes with minimal waste, and building confidence for you to experiment with new ideas and ingredients at home. Perfect for gardeners, market lovers, and anyone who wants to cook more intuitively with the seasons.
