Campfire Salmon

Adapted from Simply in Season. First, a word about fish. For this recipe, I used farmed salmon fillets that I bought at Sam’s Club. That was before I started hearing about how bad farmed fish is for the environment. You’ve heard of CAFO, I’m sure, where cows are smooshed into pens and walk around in [...]
