You would be better off with the pleasing seared salmon with couscous and a wild mushroom ragout ($18.50).

Noodles, as a bed for juicy seared salmon with mild wasabi, came appropriately hot in this fine dish.

Blue corn spoon bread is another gem, in an entree of seared salmon surrounded by a bright-orange pepper coulis.

I even like the seared smoked salmon with black beans, corn, avocado and tomatillo salsa.

By coincidence, another outstanding main course was also poached in milk, a seared Alaskan white salmon.
