Salmon in a Pouch

My son made this for me a few years ago. It is absolutely delicious–light, flaky and perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I find that this method of preparing Salmon has become my favorite way of indulging in this delicious fish. Easy to make and oh, so tasty it has become my go to when serving this to family and friends. Pouching keeps this moist and very easy to digest. Who knew that my son could create not only this dish but many others that I have totally enjoyed.

As a child, he was the worst eater a mom could have.  It was difficult trying to get him to eat  anything. I simply gave up. This called for a trip to his pediatrician,  who  told me to leave him alone, he wouldn’t starve to death.  I followed his advice.  As he got older, he started to eat better, and expand his taste in foods. And boy, can he eat.  At times when he was a teenager, I thought it was cheaper to clothe him than to feed him. That led him to the kitchen were he started to cook, and today he is an  excellent cook. I guess miracles can happen.
