Whenever I'm home, my grandma likes to cook a meal with me. I knew she liked salmon, so I proposed oven-baked salmon with veggies, and two side recipes from some of my favorite paleo/primal sites: avocado deviled eggs and vegetable latkes.
As usual, I freestyled a bit on each recipe. I skipped the crab meat on the eggs, and just threw together yolks, avocado, nutmeg, paprika, mustard, and pickle juice. The avocado wasn't as
soft as I would have liked, but what can you do? (It turns out, putting it in a bag with an apple over night will ripen it. I had a bag and an apple literally 2 feet away from the avocado all night long. Damn) For the latkes, we shredded some zucchini and yellow squash, mixed in a few eggs, and fried in olive oil. After the first 4, I found it too hard so I turned the rest into a hash. It was still delicious.
The salmon was wrapped up in foil with olive oil, tomato, and squash/zucchini. I would have preferred wild caught, but Kroger doesn't have that fresh. The farm raised definitely tastes different, and the skin especially is not very good. But it didn't ruin the meal.
I love being home.
