I am a big seafood fan, I love fish, shrimp, crab, scallops...that's pretty much it. I don't like mussels or calamari though (bleh!). And I have never tried lobster yet.

But one of my all time favorite fish is salmon.

Salmon can be rather expensive but it's well worth the money for a really lovely dinner that can border on fine dining. :)

I found an awesome recipe on (you guessed it) canadianliving.ca.

I hope you guys try this and let me know what you think! I also tried the last recipe I posted, the barley stew...it was soooooo good. I really liked it and my boyfriend thought it was a hit. So you guys have to definitely try that recipe out.

Bon appetit!

Garlic Rosemary Salmon

A simple rub of herbs and spices before grilling is often all a nice fresh piece of fish needs to highlight it's flavour.
