I am crazy enough I might just have to try it, and report back! Continue reading

When I was a kid, one of my parents favorite meals was blackened salmon. I always remembered that meal because the first time we tried it as a family, we didn’t realize how spicy the seasoning was going to be!! It was so flavorful, but I remember downing glasses of milk try to keep my mouth from catching fire.
