I'm not even going to apologize for that pun in the blog title! 


Here's a quick way to prepare salmon that is so easy yet yields impressive results. I thought I'd share because I had never prepared salmon before (this is Paisley writing...Ally usually does the cooking and I do the eating) and on my first try I was proud of what I made. This is kind of an anti foodie friendz post in the respect that I made it just for myself but if you have a night off from your buds and just wanna make something easy and delicious...this is the dish to make! 

 Since I'm a newbie at this, I basically followed eHow's article on "How to Pan Fry Salmon". Here are the steps from the site if you don't feel like reading the entire article:

Preparing Your Salmon

• 1. Season both sides of your salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Let it rest 5 minutes.
• 2. Drizzle olive oil over the top and bottom of the salmon fillet, rubbing it into the meat. Let rest 5 minutes.
• 3. Preheat your frying pan over high heat until droplets of water "dance" on the metal, then turn the heat down to medium.
• 4. Place 1 tsp. butter into the frying pan and allow to melt.
• 5. Add the salmon to the hot butter in center of the pan.
• 6. Let sizzle for 2 minutes, then use your tongs to loosen the fillet from the pan to avoid the flesh from sticking (unless using a non-stick pan).
• 7. Cook the salmon for 5 minutes on each side, then check for doneness by inserting a tooth pick or paring knife into the center of the fillet and pulling it out. If it comes out clean, the salmon is ready.
• 8. Using your tongs, remove the fillet to the serving plate and serve.

This is my step mom's famous dish, but she's not answering her phone. So without a recipe, I'm winging it and let me just say there's passion fruit juice involved!

I know, riiiiiiight.



So many of you are going to need to mentally prepare like I did before you make this scrumptious meal. So let's get it over with an look at this meat.


Ingredients:
1) Meat: 2lb-3lb Pork Shoulder (gross name but it quality, swomise)
2) Liquids: 1 1/2 cup of water
3) : 1/2 cup of passion fruit juice
4) Veg: Half Red Onion & 1 Green Onion
5) Fruits: 1 apple (any kind but I like Fuji)
6) Spices: Garlic Salt, Pepper, & Cayenne Pepper


To Do List
Step 1: Put pork in crock pot
Step 2: Add spices on top of pork
Step 3: Pour water around
Step 4: Add Onions
Let cook on high 2 hours
After 2 hours, put it on low for the remaining time...maybe about 3 hours...depending.

That's 5 hours folks so make sure you start early if you want dinner before midnight.

Step 5: Once it's fully cooked take 2 forks and shred that pork! Get the fat out of there because it ruins a bite for sure.


Step 6: Get some tortillas, thinly slice those apples to add to taco along with onions, cheese, & cilantro.



Option: If you like tomatos, buy a can of premixed dixced tomatos, onion, garlic, and whatever else is in there. It's great for a salsa if you don't have time to make your own.

ALERT: MY STEPMOM JUST CALLED SHE SAYS SHE JUST PUTS THE PORK IN WITH NOT EVEN WATER! It cooks in it's own juices!!!!

I'm trying that next for pulled pork & homemade bbq sauce...stay tuned!
