Herb-crusted Verlasso Salmon

Last month I heard about this Verlasso Salmon, the first and only ocean-raised farmed Atlantic salmon to receive the “Good Alternative” buy ranking from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® program. I was at Central Market the other day. I saw it there and it was in my cart in the blink of an eye. It’s actually very good, clean taste, excellent fat to lean ratio, firm and buttery texture.

 Yes, Mahi-Mahi is really one of my fave seafood. Grilled, baked, steamed or simmered in white wine, it’s always awesome.

Mahi-mahi Sicilian Style

Beautiful and powerful, Mahi-Mahi is one of my favorite fish. Grilled, baked, steamed or simmered in white wine, it’s always delicious. Today I had a portion in the fridge and came up with this Sicilian-inspired sauce to dress my whole wheat linguine. Sicilian Fishermen would actually use only the parts of the fish located near the head and the tail, but it’s much more likely for … Continue reading Mahi-mahi Sicilian Style
