Goose Wings with Garlic and Thyme

Alaska cooking favors cleaner herb work, gentler fish handling, and ingredients that keep some freshness in the finish. This version uses Garlic and Thyme and a basted roast finish so the Goose Wings stays central instead of getting buried under the rest of the plate.

1 1/2 to 2 pounds Goose Wings
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Neutral oil or rendered fat
1 to 2 cups Garlic
2 sprigs fresh Thyme
Optional: 1 small Onions
1 tablespoon butter

Trim and season the Goose Wings while you prep the Garlic and Thyme.
Set up the pan, pot, or oven before you start cooking so the timing stays calm once the protein goes down.
Baste through the second half of cooking so the top stays glossy without becoming greasy.
Fold in the Garlic and Thyme at the right point so they support the cut instead of dissolving into the background.
Rest or hold the protein briefly, then serve while the pan juices or broth still feel connected to the plate.

Keep the seasoning clean and let the cut set the pace. Leftovers keep best when cooled quickly and packed shallow; Alaska meals built around Goose Wings are usually stronger on day one than after repeated reheats.
