Are you a fish person? I don’t like “fishy” fish – the kind that you can smell a mile away and tastes like the water it came from (hello lake trout) unless it is cooked in some really spectacular way that takes away that super fishy taste. But most mild fish I love and I’m especially partial to mahi mahi and salmon. In fact, I still remember the first time I ever tried salmon. A friend of my dad’s brought him a huuuuuge Alaskan salmon he’d caught on a fishing trip and the whole family shared it for dinner that night. I’m just gonna say that that scrawny little seven year old tomboy version of me could pack away the salmon. Had to fight off my brothers to get the last bit but ohhhh was it worth it. To answer your questions, yes I was a tomboy and yes, little pint-sized me could out-eat my older brothers! This salmon is one of my favorites I’ve ever tasted because that. sauce. is. heaven. It’s sweet and savory at the same time and I just have a thing for sesame flavor. The trick is to glaze the salmon and asparagus twice, once right before you put it in the oven, and again about 5 minutes before it’s done. And I know I’ve gone on and on about the salmon but did you notice there is asparagus involved here?? Another amazing dinner AND side dish in one. Hooray! for taking the stress out of finding a side dish to go with your entree am I right???
