When I worked at Linfield College in OR, the Hawaiian students (many were members of the Hawaiian Club) in conjunction with the International Pinot Noir Celebration, put on an annual salmon bake. Of course, with all the traditions, prep and foods. There was/is a large population of Hawaiian students at this college since Hawaii was a recruiting area. Parents of these students would also come to the bake to help out and enjoy visiting their kids.
Here is one photo I found in the IPNC archives, which was taken ca. 2016. I have my own pics, but they are paper photos buried in a box.

This was a most enjoyable and well-attended event. The way the stakes angled over and held the salmon even cooked up darkened salmon -- the favorite way I fix it on my outdoor grill. The building with the white tower in the background, Pioneer Hall, is where my office was located. This entire outdoor area is called the Oak Grove, venue for many events/activities, including outdoor commencement.
Making me hungry as it's getting close to supper time.
