So I’ll be honest, while I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE seafood fan, there’s just something about Salmon that I can either give or take.  It just doesn’t “do it” for me.  Maybe it’s because I never really had good salmon I suppose but it just was ehhhh.. alright.  Well I was in the store the one day and they were having one of their “Only Gonna have this Sale Once in a Lifetime Truckload Extravaganza” Sale (that they have bi-monthly.. LOL) and they had scallops and all this other fishy stuff on sale.  Well this salmon was ridiculously cheap and it looked beautiful so I threw caution to the wind and bought 2 filets.

    I have not made this yet, but it sounds delicious. I’m also “meh” about most salmon, but king salmon done right can be awesome! Mildest taste, biggest flake, highest in Omega-3s of all the salmon. Buy freshly flash frozen shipped on ice and then thaw when ready to use for the freshest taste.
