The Copper River salmon from Missoula Fresh Market was just too good last week, so we decided to cook some more fish in this week’s Radd Cooking recipe. We created a stuffed portobello mushroom with cedar plank smoked salmon and a riff on gratin. These big caps of deliciousness grilled up nicely in the Big Green Egg.
