My grandparents on Laura, my step-mother's side, have an RV and are currently traveling all through Alaska. A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather called me up and asked me if I liked salmon. My answer, "Why, of course!""Good, because I wanted to know if I could ship you some salmon that I caught."
"Yes, that would be great, Grandpa. Thank you!"
Come to find out later, "some" salmon is actually 37-pounds-worth. That's 37 one+ pound fillets, all individually wrapped.
So last week, I received an over-night package at my door with these huge, beautiful salmon fillets, fresh from Alaska. As you can see, I barely fit them all in my freezer. My dad and brother-in-laws are very upset that their respective wives don't like fish. Lucky for Dustin and I. :-)
I have a close-up picture of one of the amazing fillets, as well as some pliers that I use to pull out the pin bones before cooking.
So, needless to say, I have been compiling salmon recipes. I'll have ample opportunity to try them out and discover favorites! If you have a good salmon recipe, please send it my way!
And if we happen to have you over for dinner, there is a good chance we'll be having salmon.

Holy cow. That's a lot of fish! Guess you don't have to worry about getting your Omega-3's for awhile. I bought a great salmon rub from kroger awhile back. I think it's actually called "Salmon Rub" or something close...I'll have to check. In any case, it's pretty good. Simple, too.
Dude, we love salmon. We'll be over around six ;)
Alright! The Boytes are coming to Cincy for dinner! I was hoping the salmon would entice them . . . :-)
Salmon Rub, eh? I think that sounds like an excellent investment for us! I'll be sure to look for it next trip to the store!
Invite us over-I love salmon!
Here's a simple way to bake some...
Place foil in a baking dish. Place frozen salmon on foil. Stir together 1/2 stick butter (melted), 3 Tbl honey and 3 Tbl mustard. Pour mixture over salmon and wrap up in foil. Bake for 1 hour at 350. It tastes great with rice and veggies!
