This is not a picture of Viv’s recipe but it looks close. Viv (my sister) made this one summer while we were all at Ft. George (family summer home on Pend Oreille lake in Northern Idaho). It looked so good I decided to try making it substituting the chicken for salmon. It was amazing! It is labor intensive, but perfect for a special meal or when you are trying to impress someone.
