slo’s TUESDAY 9/12 poll - Salmon

[HeatherC]

I like it, but will only eat Wild Salmon. I saw a documentary on how salmon farmers use paint samples to decide what color dye they want their salmon to be. That totally makes me sick to my stomach and from then on I haven’t eaten farmed salmon again.

Most restaurants use farmed, so unless it clearly states it is wild I won’t order it out.

I love it; everyone in the household does. I don’t often order it in a restaurant because it’s our go-to fish at home. I’ll sometimes do it for company pan-seared with a piccata sauce (butter, white wine and capers) but more often just roast it, either in the oven or on the BBQ, slathered in garlic butter, salt, pepper, dill and covered with thin lemon slices. For a change, it’s sometimes garlic butter, maple syrup and seasonings.

Grew up with my grandmother making "salmon cakes" (patties) with canned salmon and some other ingredients. Great with a bowl of beans, hot cornbread and some greens.

Now I usually eat it sauteed or roasted in the oven as part of a sheet pan meal. I also like to marinade it in some Asian-inspired ingredients and grill it.

 

[mamamary]

I don’t eat any seafood.

I do make it for my family. I usually grill it with lemon, garlic, pepper and fresh spices. My family says it is very good.

My family doesn’t normally order salmon at a restaurant.

 

[MIGrandma]

I like it, occasionally order it in a restaurant. Have never cooked it at home. We love smoked salmon.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Love salmon! One of my favorite things to eat. I fix it 2-3 times a month at home and also often eat it on vacation.

 

[disneychrista]

I don’t like fish and it doesn’t like me. Last time I tried it made me sick.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

There was a time I wouldn't even consider it!! Now, it's a favorite meal of mine. I've only been eating it about 6/7 tears. I have made it at home and for me, I like the premarinated versions best. I love ordering it out and have never had a bad experience.

 

[TippyThomas]

I love it and eat it at least once a week. Sometimes several times a week. It's a go-to protein for me when I'm camping.

 

[mickey916]

We love it. My husband even likes it now and he's not a big seafood consumer. Our favorite recipe is: Sensational Spiced Salmon My sons request this recipe often.

 

[Skippy918]

I like it in my sushi rolls or poke bowls. Not a fan of the texture and flavor of cooked salmon.

 

[fla4fun]

I don’t like any kind of seafood, including fish. It always smells like it’s gone bad, and tastes worse.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I don't like any fish or anything from the sea.

 

[Kennywood]

Sometimes I like to mess with the wait staff. So, when I order salmon, I'll occasionally pronounce the "L". I love seeing the look on their faces. You can almost see the wheels turning in their mind.

 

[NAB]

I have had it when out a few times hoping maybe I will like it a different way.

Tried making at home a few times probably over cooked it…lol Definitely not a go too.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I have tried it so many different ways, and I just don't love it

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I love it-good thing, because I eat it a lot for my diet. Nowadays I marinate it in fat-free Italian dressing and then broil it. I also love salmon sashimi.

I love any kind of seafood, really.

 

[Micca]

I like it but don't like to cook it, and I don't order it when dining out. Before I decided it was too much hassle to grill outside I would make salmon and it was fantastic--like restaurant quality. It just wasn't the same cooked on the Foreman grill in the kitchen. I do like it in sushi, maybe I should try cooking it again.

 

[The Mayor]

Growing up and living in MA I eat and love all kinds of seafood…except salmon. I dislike it immensely. It’s basically a texture issue but I also think it tastes too fishy.

 

[RedAngie]

It’s a lovely color for nail polish

Also a lovely color for geraniums and other flowers.

I make it three or four times a year at home and order it in restaurants about the same number of times.

Question for all: Is the “L” pronounced?
