Each year we collect a bountiful harvest of red salmon during the summer. A portion of this yield usually goes to making spicy salmon jerky. This delectable marinade makes the salmon jerky to die for, and I have yet to taste a better recipe!

Chef John's Chocolate Energy Bars
If you compare these chocolate energy bars to similar fruit and nut bars sold at the store, I think they taste better, are nutritionally superior, and are probably cheaper to make at home. The only problem is they look so good it takes your brain a millisecond to process that they're not going to taste like the fudge brownies they resemble. Store bars in the refrigerator in a resealable bag.
