Trader Joe’s Salmon and Asparagus Pasta in a Lemon and Cream Sauce

 

Frequent reader here know I live in the Seattle area and of course we are some of the foodiest foodies out there. One of those things that converge here is the foodie thing and seafood, namely Salmon. Most of the Alaska fishing fleet is actually from the Seattle area. They moor their boats here in downtown Seattle and during the Salmon season we gorge on it for the couple of months that it comes in fresh from Alaska (and our own rivers here in WA state too!). People in Seattle will talk endlessly about how they make their salmon. When the first salmon are caught up in Alaska there is a huge buzz here in Seattle and it’s all over the news. Chefs rush to be the first in the city to fly a bunch of salmon back to Seattle to cook at their restaurants. It’s all a lot of fun! I could easily see this Salmon and Asparagus  in a Lemon Cream sauce recipe being offered at a local restaurant around that time. Asparagus is also in season when the Salmon are running, around the beginning of May. In fact, one of our favorite meals in May and June is Grilled Salmon and Grilled Asparagus! When things are that fresh, it doesn’t get much better!

Trader Joe’s Salmon Mint Sauce Orzo

Here is another contender for the longest name in Trader Joe’s! 16 words if you include the Trader Joe’s! Anyway, I was buzzing by the frozen section and saw this new packaging in the fish section. Hmm… I love salmon. We live near Seattle which is like the Salmon capital of the world. We gorge on it most of the summer so I am somewhat biased on my salmon. I thought what the hell, there are a lot of people out there that love salmon and this is supposed to be wild salmon so it’s all good!

Trader Joe’s Farfelle

Trader’s has a trio of these frozen pasta dishes that came out within the past year. I loves my cheese and four cheeses sounds even better! I first tried these when they first came out and my wife and I loved them for lunch and bought a ton of them. This seemed to be our favorite of the trio and ate a lot of it. Then as things go at Trader’s it mysteriously disappeared and we were pissed. It was one of those items that they seem to get right and why not keep it in the lineup for more than a couple of months?
