Kari, I can't take credit for the brine, or the whole process for that. I came across this particular process while doing a YouTube search last year. I came across several different brines that I tried, but this was the one that really caught my taste buds attention.
Yes, these King Salmon have an amazing taste. They literally melt in your mouth. I've been very fortunate to be able to travel up there these past two years. Season limit on Kings is four fish, but at their size, I end up coming home with about 50lbs of fillets. More than enough to keep my Model#1 and Weber grill busy for the coming year! 😀
PS: by the way, our guide Brent (pictured in the photo behind me) is a middle school teacher/coach from Wisconsin who's been guiding up in Alaska during the summers for the past fifteen years.
