Believe it folks! Carol Anne marinated, grilled and ATE salmon today! I know, it's a Christmas miracle, for this girl, who can't stand fish. I honestly am shocked that I liked it, myself.I must have truly become primal, because lately pictures of salmon have been really enticing to me. I have grown somewhat tired of my limited choices, when it comes to protein sources, and have wanted to add new things into my diet. It seemed that salmon was calling my name. So, I bit the bullet, bought the prettiest piece of sockeye wild caught salmon from Sprouts and gave it a go!
I used this awesome marinade http://www.primal-palate.com/2011/04/jamaican-jerk-salmon.html from Hayley and Bill's cookbook http://makeitpaleo.com/ .
I have to say, even while grilling it, I still wasn't sure if I'd be able to stomach it, but I forged on!
One bite and I was hooked. I cannot believe that I liked it! I have NEVER liked fish....ever! Even tuna fish would make my stomach turn. I've tried different types of fish several times, but honestly, to me, it all tastes exactly like it smells. This salmon had an awesome flavor, with the jamaican jerk marinade. It had a slight, and I do mean slight fishy flavor, but it was not overwhelming at all. I have always been told that if fish is fresh, it doesn't have that fishy flavor, that I cannot stand.....I must have gotten a very fresh piece of salmon, because it was yummy!
I steamed up some asparagus, slathered it in kerrygold butter and sprinkled it with some sea salt. Great meal, if I do say so myself!
