About This Recipe
Salmon, the chicken of the sea, oh wait that is tuna… Well maybe it can be the “pork” of the sea. We will have to think on this. No matter what you call salmon, I call it delicious. Baked, fried, deep fried, smoked or even raw the ways you can prepare it are rather endless. I found this new Ajika Georgian seasoning blend at Trader Joe’s and thought what better way to try it than on some salmon, and just so that I was truly able to get the flavor profile I thought I would do something short and simple. Pairing this seasoning up with salmon and a few simple veggies turned out wonderfully. I cannot wait to see what all I can come up with for this seasoning blend, and I hope that you enjoy this salmon and veggies dish as much as I did.
Salmon And You
So why go with salmon and not another type of fish? Well salmon is actually rather healthy for you! Salmon has a good amount of natural B12 which is great for our blood and nerve cells. But the biggest thing about salmon is the omega 3-fatty acids they give us, which is great cause we cannot make them ourselves. Some other neat factoids’ I learned about salmon is that they can survive in both fresh and saltwater. The oldest salmon fossil found is roughly 50 million years old. And some salmon can get up to 100 pounds.
