Pink salmon with hot rice would be considered one of my absolute comfort foods. I love it when it’s cooked with a lot of pepper and onions. I almost always have tin salmon in my pantry. It’s one of those quick and easy meals you can prepare if you don’t feel like cooking or being…

DRY vs WET MARINADES FOR MEATS
NOTHING is better than biting into a piece of meat with amazing flavors! The key to achieving this is MARINATING!
