Blackened Wild Salmon Tacos Recipe
Most people think of produce having seasons, which it does. But wild salmon has a season too, and it just started!!! I do buy frozen wild salmon in the "off-season," but I prefer it fresh. So from now until late summer/early fall, I will be indulging once a week at minimum in my favorite fish. ...

Shrimp and Basil Stir Fry Recipe
I saw this Bon Appetit shrimp dish on my friend Leanne Citrone's Instagram feed a while back and I saved it to make at a later date. I save and pin things a lot and then I forget about them. Plus, I don't have a lot of time to make other recipes because I am constantly testing my ...

Brown Butter Miso -Glazed Wild Salmon Recipe
When I was 10 years old, I decided to become a pescatarian. My parents were very worried, but I am sure I ate more protein than I needed between seafood a few times a week and a daily dose of cheese.

Wild Halibut with Thai Coconut Sauce Recipe
When am I going to finally go to Thailand and eat their delicious food? It is one of my favorite cuisines. Suffice it to say I am definitely not going any time soon since I am in full book mode right now! I don't think I've mentioned in the last 5 minutes that my book is coming out on June 13th. ...
Deconstructed Salmon Sushi Bowls Recipe
Yippee! It's Copper River salmon season! I love, love, love wild salmon, but the best of the bunch is Copper River, which is available for a very short time May through June. It's the most silky, rich salmon ever. It's also the most expensive, but worth it, in my opinion. In honor of the season, ...
