Salmon

So I decided to try this recipe.

I went to Whole Foods and lost my mind and bought really expensive wild-caught king salmon. Like, more than twice the price of the other salmon. It like, doubled my grocery bill for the evening. So I thought I'd better cook the salmon before I forgot about it and it went bad. But in case the recipe wasn't any good, I decided to halve the recipe and freeze the other half of the really expensive salmon.

It's actually really good. I used the Nugget brand clover honey, cos that's what I could find. It could actually use a stronger honey (it's a moderately flavored honey - not super strong, but it's not bland either). And flatter pieces of salmon (to increase the amount of honey sauce). And more sauce (I used most of the whole-recipe's amount of sauce on the salmon). The salmon is tender and flavorful. The spinach and bell pepper concoction is actually really good. I had my reservations, especially because of the chunks of ginger, but mostly the ginger isn't overwhelming, and the spinach tastes good and the bell peppers are cooked enough and stuff.

Overall, I approve of this recipe. Look at me getting my Ω-3 FA :-)
