No one in my family likes salmon. Especially my mother. In fact, my mother hates salmon so much that when I told her I was making salmon for a date last week, she was pretty convinced I'd end up alone, forever.
"Are you sure he likes salmon?" she asked. "Maybe you should make lasagna or meat and potatoes." I assured her that I had already asked him if he liked salmon and he said yes.
"I don't know," my mother insisted, "salmon is so hard to make, what if you mess it up?" Little did she know, I had a simple and foolproof salmon recipe that was man-tested and approved.
