The Salmon Spot — Restaurant in Alaska

Lifelong Alaskan here. This gem in Talkeetna is a slice of Alaskan magic. The salmon cakes are seasoned perfectly and with so much flavor. The salmon cake salad include this magical maple glaze that just takes the already amazing salmon cakes to the next level. And the vegetables in the salad! Crisp, fresh, plentiful! Then the chowder.
