salmon — Housewife's Whimsy

I’ve been trying to clean out the freezer and get rid of or eat anything we’ve had in there for a while. I still had two salmon fillets from the last time I made salmon so I decided to try another recipe. As I’m sure you’ve gathered by now if you follow the blog, Alex really loves spicy foods, so I decided a spicy salmon was in order.The blend of spices I tried in this recipe is definitely pretty spicy. If you’re not a huge fan of spicy dishes you’ll want to adapt it to what your taste buds enjoy. This recipe also cooks very easily with very little clean up since the foil you just toss away. If you’re looking for a quick dinner this is definitely one.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:170]Source: Adapted from FoodNetwork

When I was younger my Mother served us several times a month, it was breaded cod. It was honestly the worst dinner night of the week. When we got old enough we all hoped to be busy on cod night. Because of this I’ve always assumed that I absolutely hated fish.I decided to try making fish for dinner a couple weeks ago since it is so good for you. I was very wary of actually doing it so I kept putting off this dinner. When I finally did get up the courage to make it I was actually quite surprised. This dish wasn’t as terrible as I remembered fish being (a high compliment from me). Alex really loved the salmon, he said it was a great combination of sweet and savory.
