Salmon in the Works

Tweet

If you have followed me for any length of time, you might already know that my favorite fish happens to be salmon, and my wife's least favorite fish also happens to be salmon. So, the only time I really have any is when we're out at a restaurant that serves it. I have even tried to make it several different ways over the years to see if I could find a way to do it that she likes. But it's always been no cigar. Even offering her pieces of restaurant salmon fare has never made her eyebrows raise. But she recently told me, "I'll have another go at it," and I am now "authorized" to make salmon again—and of course, I'm taking her up on her offer. I bought some yesterday at Aldi as well as a couple of cedar planks elsewhere, and have a plan to make them on the grill on the planks with some teriyaki sauce I also got at Aldi. I wanted a honey sesame sauce, but they didn't have any. But teriyaki is good on salmon as well. I was going to make it on the grill tonight, but it looks like we may have sudden dinner plans at my sister and brother-in-law's house, so I will have to wait. I'll probably do it Monday or Tueday. In any event, the salmon experiment is on again anew, and I will let you all know how it goes. Wish me luck. If we can have salmon more often, I'd really enjoy that. Worst case scenario, I might just start doing a cod loin for her and a piece of salmon for me since they cook similarly and I wouldn't have to do that much extra work. We'll see.
