Papas, who is an Easton native and 2001 graduate, said the salmon is among his favorite dishes to prepare. He worked in Raynham before taking on his new role at the Easton location.

Like all of the restaurant's meats, the Stoneforge aims for a fresh taste with its salmon, he said.

Adding a raspberry flavor plays well with the fish's fatty texture.

"Theres a lot of people that put salsas on it," Papas said. "We decided to put raspberry on it and it worked. The raspberry has a tart quality to it and the salmon is fatty so it plays really well together."

The fresh salmon with raspberry glaze is prepared with tangerines. The fruit adds another fruit flavor to contrast the taste of the fish.

Papas recommended drinking a Samuel Adams seasonal beer with the salmon. He said the citrus flavor of the beer would play well with the fruit and fish.
