Salmon

I made SALMON!  You don't understand, this is HUGE!  I do not make fish, nor do I like it.  Well... until now.  It was delicious!  I did put lots of lemon on it, but it was totally edible-and I'd eat it again!  W even said it was better than lots of restaurants :-)  Sure, maybe he said it to be nice, but it made me feel good!  This was fresh, never frozen, salmon.  Maybe that is what made the taste so good.  I bought it fresh today, and cooked it within hours.

It was so simple.  I was inspired by my Rachel Ray magazine.  Surprisingly she has lots of Paleo-friendly recipes (or one's that can easily be converted).  Here's what you do:

Put some olive oil in a pan and heat it on medium-high heat.  Rub olive oil & salt and pepper on the salmon fillets.  Once the pan is heated, place the salmon skin side down for 3 minutes, then turn heat down to medium for another 3 minutes.  Flip over and cook until almost opaque in the middle.  The recipe suggested 1-2 minutes but mine took quite a bit longer than that.  Regardless, it was super moist and flaky.
