Uncle Dobo’s Bacon Wrapped BBQ Salmon
"My easy way of BBQing salmon. When I was working on the fishing boats in Alaska, we usually fixed the salmon this way. You can leave off the bacon, if you want, but it tastes so good with it!"

We cooked this in the oven and might suggest precooking the bacon partially.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm from Alaska, a Tlingit (prounounced "klingit") native American and Norwegian. I love food! If I could live on the ocean, I would. Fishing is where I find peace. My name is Darrell but my nephew calls me "Uncle Dobo" and these days many family members do, too. Someday I hope my sisters will have RecipeZaar accounts, too, so they can share their recipes with all our family members more easily. :)
I'm good friends with <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39547">Julesong</a> and her husband <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857">Steingrim</a>, and they're great cooks. They cook a lot more "ethnic" food than I'm used to - I'm more a meat and potatoes kind of guy - but I'm coming to like some of the food styles they eat a lot.
My nephew, Julesong, and myself are collecting native Alaskan recipes these days, so you'll soon be seeing some of them appear in my list. Julesong types them up for us (and maintains my Zaar account for me). The ingredients will probably be unusual for most Americans, but I think it's important to collect the information about our Native Alaskan American heritage and share it with others. My nephew Jared collected some of them from family members while visiting Anchorage.
