Broiled Wild Salmon with Cherry Apple Chutney

I love a good salmon dinner, a few of my favorites are Honey Teriyaki Salmon, Grilled Salmon with Avocado Bruschetta, and Maple Soy Glazed Salmon.

Just a few weeks ago I had this at a dinner party hosted by my friend Sandy who blogs at The Reluctant Entertainer during my trip to Harry and David in southern Oregon. The Autumn weather in southern Oregon couldn’t have been more perfect and we dined al fresco in her beautiful backyard on chalkboard paper lined tables with pears for centerpieces.

Anyone who meets Sandy feels instantly connected to her – she’s an incredible entertainer and really knows hot to make you feel welcome. Southern Oregon has the perfect landscape and climate for producing the best pears and produce. It’s also home to some of the finest cheese and great wine. Harry and David doesn’t just grow there own fruit (which are non-GMO btw), all their cakes, pastries, chocolates, cookies, Moose Munch and more all made on premises and they work directly with local wineries and cheese makers to offer the best Oregon wines, finest cheese such as award winning Rogue Creamery in their baskets.

Their fruit is harvested and kept in cold storage until ready to ship so that every basket delivered to your door step is perfect. And, we even got to make and package our own gift baskets, although I learned quickly that I was not cut out for making this a career as I took about 40 minutes to pack ONE basket! If you ever visit Southern Oregon, you can go on a Harry and David tour and tour their kitchens. We all stayed at the charming Winchester Inn in Ashland. I loved sitting in that nook staring out the window…

They had the most comfortable beds, and served some of the best breakfasts I’ve ever tasted – and I’m not even a breakfast person! Example, these poached eggs over a souffle with an arugula salad and berry vinaigrette – to die for! Southern Oregon has amazing culinary talent. Would you believe this meal came out of a food truck? Everlasting memories were made in those short few days and Oh how I miss those stunning mountain views and old and new friends…
