Just a quick note to thank you for the frozen pink salmon at Costco suggestion. I did buy a bag. It had five slabs in it which is about the amount that this household eats for supper with just enough leftovers for snacks the next day.
I was going to cook them the way you told me Brian cooks them. But as the before cooking time started some suggestions came from the peanut gallery...which I totally love. So after much discussion, and this was mostly Monte's suggestions, I ended up with an entirely different dish.
I put three slabs, skin down, on a tin foil covered pan. I then packed on loosely a big fat layer of stuffing I made out of old dried buns. I then laid the other two over the top. I had seasoned the fish first.
I then cooked it in the toaster oven on high on convection...which is exactly what an air fryer would do if there was room in them. Half way through I removed the two top fish and set aside. They were getting too done. I kind of guessed when to take it all out.
Meanwhile I made a béchamel sauce, with lemon allspice and nutmeg and parsley. I served it with a greek salad and Kathy's pickled beets.
It was delicious. I mean really delicious! So thank you for showing me those fish. And not only are they thirty dollars cheaper than sockeye, but pinks are my all time fave salmon. And just think...the Alaskans won't eat pinks. They feed them to their dogs. Crazy!!!! Sockeye and halibut are my two least fave fish because they are too dense and dry.
So thank you! We will be making trips to Nanaimo Costco frequently I think! TTYL
That sounds delicious!
