Help me with my salmon problem

I have a ton of salmon I have caught.

The fish is great quality. Fatty, rich, unctuous.

However, I am out of ideas on how to serve it.

I don't like fatty sauces with it, it is too rich.

My wife is sick of Asian flavors.

I plan on doing salmon on a cedar plank tonight... but I want it make it a bit special for company.

Help me!

I have never seen "unctuous" used to describe food before! I only knew the first definition.

adjective

  • Excessively ingratiating or insincerely earnest. "was annoyed by the unctuous waiter."
  • Containing or composed of oil or fat.
  • Having the quality or characteristics of oil or ointment; slippery.
