Salmon simplified and WILD

One of our lowest maintenance meals is this super simple, tasty salmon ensemble. You need salmon and an oven. Throw a few optional accoutrements in the mix, sure, but essentially it’s just the salmon and a baking place for it. The thing about salmon is it’s uber healthy and I try to eat a lot of it. As of late. I can only eat so much straight up salmon, though. I like accoutrements with my salmon. It’s a great marinade candidate, a good buddy to pecans and mustard, and simply delicious with barbecue sauce. Now, I’m not talking corn syrup disguised as BBQ sauce, I’m talking real. bbq. sauce. Store bought, that is. Challenge? Maybe. I like Annie’s brand BBQ Sauce. BBQ sauce is one of the things to shop for at either your local co-op or at Whole Foods. It’s hard to find the real thing at any type of big box store.

Wild-caught, Alaskan Salmon is pumped with omega-3’s and good protein. It’s also one of the best choices you can make in sustainable seafood. It’s good for you and for the planet. If you’re deciding between farm-raised and sustainable wild-caught, I have an opinion. A strong one.

Eggplant Parmesan

Following my wedding cake that I was too amped to eat, the eggplant parmesan of my dreams entered my life while honeymooning 2 1/2 years ago. It made its appearance at a cozy vegetarian restaurant in Madrid. It’s probably more romantic to say that we happened upon this veggie nook entirely by chance, while wandering the evening streets of Madrid. But alas, it was moreso targeted and hunted, after doing my homework to find this destination. Splitting a week between three cities meant some degree of pre-mooning research. Many a variety of eggplant parmesan has been dined on by yours truly, at and away from home, but I’m still oozing over this particular one. This made my top-five meals of all time list. more
