Salmon with veggies. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and some applewood smoked seasoning that I picked up from the bulk foods section at Winco.

Good to see you left the skin on, too many people take it off.. its where all the good fats are I think

Salmon is full of good fat. It isn't just the skin. The main reason I leave it on is because it helps prevent the salmon from drying out during the cooking process. I tend to cook it skin side down until it is about 70% done, then flip it. The result is nice and juicy.

Oh right didnt know that, makes sense. Thats how I cook my fish too, just a light touch on the flesh side not even enough to give it any colour.

I'm also a skin fan. My wife leaves it on till it's done then takes it off and frys it in a pain with a tiny bit of oil so it's super crispy. It's bloody delicious.

Living in B.C and going fishing on the pacific has been amazing. Nothing like catching a 20 lb coho or larger spring and eating it that night. My favourite fish is halibut, way too expensive in the store.

mysticmac @mysticmac that looks phenomenal.

Yep, I sometimes dust the skin side with a decent layer of cooking salt 15 mins prior to shallow frying then shake off the excess salt. I think the salt draws out the moisture from the skin and gives you an almost crackle like finish. Contrary to popular belief sodium is your friend :)

Thanks man, assuming 8/10 compared to the real thing

All I used was ground meat, kidney beans, onions, garlic, chilie flakes and tomatoes. Very basic but tasted okay
In my opinion you need cumin for it to taste right. But those things you put in are the start of every chilli I've made.
