So what I really need is some good Salmon…

I went out shopping last weekend with my grandmother as she was out for a visit, and we did a LOT of grocery shopping. What was the one thing I could really go for we didn’t get? Some salmon. Course, living in northern Idaho, finding said salmon isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world. Allow me to explain.

See, I grew up in Bremerton, Washington, which is right on the wonderful Puget Sound. One of the bonuses to living around there was the abundance of amazingly fresh seafood that we had available daily. It wasn’t frozen EVER, it wasn’t “day old”, no, many times what was available was caught earlier that day. So now that I’m even 400 miles inland, I find myself having a hard time finding that elusive fresh seafood that I had grown up loving.

What makes it all the more difficult is reading one of my favorite cooking websites on the planet, seeing a recipe for Gravlax and feeling my mouth start to water. Not only is it an amazingly simple dish to prepare, but it looks oh so tasty! Go ahead, check out that listing, and provided you like seafood at all, that should send your mouth watering. But don’t say I didn’t warn you (especially if you’re not living on the coast with easy access to said seafood).

At any rate, I’m now trying to figure out how to get my salmon locally or have it delivered (say… overnighted perhaps? ). Because something this sinfully easy has to be good.
