The Gold Creek Salmon Bake is a bit of a misnomer. It's actually located on Salmon Creek, and the salmon isn't baked -- it's deliciously grilled over a smoky wood fire.
The festival-like environment of the little assortment of buildings and tented picnic table areas is very inviting. There was live music, activities (like gold panning), and a gift shop that sells handicrafts made by the Tlingit native peoples.
And did I mention the food?
Mouthwatering fresh salmon, cooked with that hint of wood smoke -- no fishy taste or wildness, only savory perfectly cooked filets. You can opt for a sweet brown sugar glaze -- which I tried on one piece -- and it was light enough that it only enhanced the flavor of the salmon.
It was a great end to a perfect afternoon. I'll be back.
