Looks good! Love blackened fish. My wife hates it or else I’d make it often.

I like the roasted broccoli. Do you blanch it first?

No… I usually steam it but was trying something different. Tasted good..

Local Meijer grocery store.

What city?

 

[IndyWS6]

In Indiana - it’s a common item in the meat section. Almost always in stock.

We eat salmon a lot, this week there was some steelhead trout. It was bright orange like salmon, great flavor. Much cheaper to buy.

Indiana salmon… no thank you. I mean that with all due respect. Unless I pull it from the river myself or from one of my friends, I will not eat store bought salmon. Farm raised salmon is absolutely disgusting and should not be sold to paying customers. Dan Travis and anybody from the PACNW will probably back me up. Once you’ve had fresh salmon - while still on the boat, you’ll never go back. There is something dreadfully wrong with store bought. I know I sound like a snob… but the difference is real.

Understood… when you live in the middle of a Midwest cornfield and you are landlocked, choices are limited. The salmon I buy is wild caught but, almost certainly, frozen along the way. It’s still quite good…

I completely understand.
