Mustard Salmon and a Giveaway!

4 July, 2013 by Slim Palate 39 Comments

Mustard Salmon

Lucky for me I have this great mailman who brings me a bunch of surprise cookbooks to my doorstep every couple of weeks or so. It’s like a cookbook gun is being set up somewhere near my doorstep and firing cookbooks in my general direction. I suppose if  that was the case I’ll start wearing eye protection (or groin protection) when I start going out. Lucky for me this book didn’t hit me in the face or in the groin. In fact it did the quite opposite, it didn’t really “hit me” but it has made a bunch of really surprisingly delicious meals for me out of simple ingredients.

In Elanas Pantry’s newest book Paleo Cooking she has brought forth a lot of simplistic recipes that seem to be passed up by a lot of people including myself. I like to get a little extravagant with my recipes sometime but since I started cooking from this book I have really been reminded the importance of simplicity in a recipe .

IMG_0053

When I say simple, I mean really incredibly simple when it comes to this recipe. All it requires to make is a beautiful slab of salmon and dijon mustard. If you have those two ingredients then you are good to go. I think it’s rare that you can grab two things and make a meal out of it unless you really let yourself unwind and think about it. This isn’t the only easy recipe out of this book but it of course popped to me because I’m a bit of a salmon freak.

Lately there has been a lot of fresh wild caught salmon nearby me which is super rare.  It’s always wild caught but it’s frozen and we all know once it’s been frozen for a bit it’s never the same. And when I say the salmon lately has been fresh I mean ridiculously fresh. You can literally observe the omege 3s oozing out of the pink soft flesh of the fish. Maybe not a visualization for everybody but hey at least it’s super fresh. So why not let the beauty of the the fresh salmon shine with a simple recipe? Not to mention it makes a week night a breeze when your strapped for time and are about to gnaw the arm of a chair off.

    My favorite cookbook (so far) is Primal Cravings by Megan Mccullough Keatley & Brandon Keatley. Elanas Pantry cookbook looks amazing – hope I win!

    Hummm well asking me to chose my favorite cookbook is like asking me to chose my favorite child 😀 I love Gather. This book is spectacular! From the photography down to the recipes. I’m really hoping to add Elanas book to the collection. This would be the first Elana book! 🙂

    Please keep the salmon recipes coming! I tend to get salmon because it’s more affordable than a lot of other options, but I’m getting kind of bored, so this is great! Thanks!

    Oh, and as far as my favorite cookbook, I don’t really have a favorite (there are so many great ones!) but the one I’m getting the most use out of, at least right now, is Practical Paleo. Love the wealth of information in addition to recipes that aren’t too fancy, expensive to make.

    I actually don’t have any primal/paleo cookbooks. This would be my first. There are a bunch on my Christmas wish list and I can only hope. I love Elana’s cooking and hers was the first grain-free site I visited. I met with success every time and was never disappointed. I would greatly enjoy creating meals that are simple as they never go out of style and could be enhanced for company fare.

    To be perfectly honest, I have NO paleo cookbooks whatsoever at this point. I’m brand spanking new to this concept and saw one of your posts from a friend’s Facebook link. I’m thinking that, should I be the winner of this cookbook, I will have a simple stepping stone to get started on this path! Thanks for the chance to win!

    Just received my book from Elana about a week ago! I made the chocolate chips first with vegan chocolate and it was so good I was eating it straight out of the food processor! This is an amazing book and so is the almond flour cookbook! The herbed turkey loaf is my favorite out of that one! Give it away to a good home. 🙂
