in search of the right salmon

After my mother stated that she couldn’t find much she liked on allrecipes.com… she suddenly did. 

She raved about the PUFF PASTRY SALMON found on the site, and said my dad loved it too.  I am always looking for good salmon recipes, mainly ones that make salmon not taste like fish, because while I have come to thoroughly enjoy seafood in my adult life, my boyfriend isn’t quite there yet.  He’s trying though, because he is fairly health conscious and knows how good a lot of the things from the sea can be for you, especially salmon.

Still, I am weary of making it for dinner because the first and last time I tried he couldn’t stomach it and ended up eating PB&J instead.  (The only meal I’ve made thus far where this has happened.)  Because of this, I made one with salmon and one with chicken and gave each of us half of each, just in case.  And while he did say he liked the chicken one better, he completely finished off both his halves.  Hooray, I got him to eat salmon!

I, on the other hand, couldn’t even get through half of what was on my plate.  Something about the puff pastry just wasn’t sitting right in my stomach.  Because of this, I am still on the lookout for a salmon recipe that pleases the both of us.  I’m not sure is this one will get a repeat performance or not, but if it does, I will definitely double the pesto that was used.  We both used what was left in the container as a dipping sauce since without it there wasn’t a whole lot of flavor.  Perhaps I did something wrong.  Maybe the next time I try it I’ll have Mom make it and see if I taste a difference.  What do you say, Mom?
