Salmon... Good brain food.... I know I need THAT!

Hubby can't stand the odor of seafood cooking so I have to either cook it on the grill outside or wait till he is out of town.
I make a season rub of dried garlic granules, some awesome paprika, a dash or pinch of fresh grated nutmeg and a pinch of salt. The season rub is about a Tablespoon when combined. Sprinkle/rub on the salmon, wrap in plastic wrap, let it marinate in the frig over night. Place in the oven on 375 with a drizzle of olive oil and bake to your liking. Sprinkle some dill over it and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon. I know my tummy is happy.


Thank you LORD for your bounty and blessings.

Yum! Here's my seafood "smell" story. A few weeks ago, it was my turn to host my Muse book group. The house was neat and tidy. The table nicely set. The food prepared. The Baker was making his own dinner and planned to disappear upstairs (husbands not invited). What did he throw into a hot pan? A salmon burger!! The whole house reeked of seafood!!!!! Aargh!!

Best,
Bonnie

I love to bake salmon or tilapia in the oven, but you're right- it sure does stink up a place for a while! :)
Fortunately for me, hubby doesn't mind... and Lily walks around with her nose in the air trying to catch every whiff she can. *haha*

That looks absolutely delicious!
We eat salmon, trout or char just about every night and always on the lookout for recipes. Your recipe looks like it'll be a keeper! (pun intended)

Tammy, you've done it again! I want to eat everything you cook and photo! It looks delicious and I love seafood, but could live without the smell as well. :)

That looks marvelous sweetie. We eat salmon often here on the Ponderosa. My fave is to use blackin' seasoning on it and grill it in the George Forman served with Cajun pasta and garlic toast.

I've got to try this recipe. Thanks!!!

I've only had salmon once in my life. It tasted pretty good but ahem... I did have a "hard time" breathing. lol Glad you got to enjoy one of your favorites though!! xoxo I love saurkraut and Myguy wants to ralph when I fix it. So I get kraut probably about as often as you do salmon! :)

I have a neighbor that is a wonderful cook. He knows I do very little anymore, so he brings leftovers to me. I told him he should have been a chief. He cooks the healthy way. One day last week, he brought a big plate and the meat was wonderfully prepared salmon. His wife does not cook either as he enjoys it so much.

Tammy, how timely this post was because salmon is on our dinner menu for next week. I will try this dry rub, as we usually season just with salt, pepper, and dill. We love seafood, thanks.

Looks wonderful! Years ago, some folks stopped by my husbands shop to have their car worked on. They gave him canned smoked Salmon that they had just processed from their trip to Alaska. It was the most wonderful tasting salmon ever.
