Mai Recommends

Because my wife’s family is into the tuna/seafood export business, we usually get tuna, salmon, dory fish, prawns, crabs, etc., for free. Here’s a little secret. I actually married my wife because of all the free fish, prawns, and crabs. Kidding! hehe So one time, Mai Recommends (a section in Mai da Paypay’s blog) featured a pan-fried salmon with caramelized garlic. It just looked so good that my wife bought a few slices of salmon. We never really knew that salmon was so pricey. It came down to more than a hundred pesos a slice. Ouch! Anyway, it was worth it. Ok, it’s not, but only because we can get it for free. 

Recently, Mai posted a recipe for salmon in basil cream sauce. And since my wife absolutely loves basil (amoy mayaman), and because we still have some salmon left, we had the salmon in basil cream sauce for dinner last night. And let me tell you. It was so much better. Really! Sweet and creamy. What’s not to like? The sauce will also be quite good for pairing up with some good old friend chicken or breaded pork chop. Drop by Mai’s blog for more awesome goodies. And since we weren’t able to take some actual photos (it was devoured in seconds, it’s that good), here are the photos from Mai’s blog.
