Author Notes

I was inspired to create this recipe when I came across a great booth with fresh spring morel mushrooms at a weekday farmer's market in downtown Chicago. I gathered all the fresh vegetables and stopped by my favorite fish monger for fresh king salmon and made easy work of this on my grill and side burner for the sauce. —Brian
