chunky fresh salmon scallion olive salad

Whenever I buy salmon, I always try to buy an extra couple of pounds because if I’m going to pan sear it for one meal, I can use the leftover salmon the next day for salads, sandwiches and more. That’s how this chunky fresh salmon scallion olive salad was born!  So, think about that when you’re looking at this amazing fish that’s born in fresh water and then migrates to salt water the back to salt water to reproduce.

One of my hubby’s most favorite trips was to Alaska to go salmon fishing. Well, he and his group caught hundreds of pounds and had them cleaned, filleted, packaged and shipped home. Our freezer was FULL. I mean to the brim. Well, as luck should have it, we were traveling, the electricity went out and when we returned home, the entire freezer of fresh Alaskan salmon was gone~~every stinkin’, literally and figuratively speaking, had to be trashed. That was one sad day in our lives. We mourned this event for months afterwards. The good thing about it though is~~we have to make another trip to Alaska to go salmon fishing again!
