Honey Pickled Salmon

Submitted by Ashley U

"I love pickled Salmon and it makes a wonderful gift. I know it sounds wild but a family friend, who happens to be an Alaskan fisherman, would make it and give it out Christmas and it was to die for! He would not give me his recipe but years latter, I found this recipe in "Pacific Passions Cookbook" by Karen Barnaby. You should try to get the freshish, nonfarmed salmon."
