Pacific Wild Salmon with Chipotle Yogurt Sauce

Compared to farmed salmon, wild salmon is more nutritious and carries fewer toxins that can accumulate in humans, a CTV News investigation has found. Samples of wild Pacific salmon tested on behalf of CTV News at laboratories in B.C. had eight times more Vitamin D and three times more Vitamin A than farmed Atlantic salmon. The samples of wild salmon were also leaner. Wild salmon is my favorite and it is currently in season.  It is more expensive, yet it has more structure and a deeper colour than farmed salmon.  Wild salmon feed on krill (tiny crustaceans that give wild salmon their beautiful red colour).  Farmed salmon feed is questionable… Please do your own research. My husband, the chef,  came up with this simple grilled salmon recipe for those who like it spicy.  You can adjust the seasoning to your liking.
