Tired of the same old chicken recipes for dinner? Switch up your dinner menu with these easy and delicious seafood recipes that everyone will love! If you're intimidated to cook seafood at home, don't be. Each recipe includes tips and tricks to ensure success every time. These recipes are full of flavor and perfect for summer. They're easy enough for busy weeknights, and they would be great for entertaining as well.
There are lots of places to buy great seafood, but I wanted to pass along my favorite salmon. Earlier this year I was making the Italian Garlic Butter Salmon (it's fabulous by the way!) and Chris told me to buy the BBQ cut Norwegian Salmon from Trader Joes. It's wonderful- fresh and delicious and already cut into nice-sized portions that cook evenly. Give it a try if you're looking for a new favorite.
