Whole Spice Napa Valley Salmon

Napa Valley Rub Salmon
A few months ago, my mom took me, my sister, my aunt and sis-in-law for a girls trip to San Francisco. One morning we made our way down to the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market, which is a delicious and cultural experience, especially for you food-lovers out there. We’d highly recommend checking it out next time you find yourself in San Fran. While we were wandering around enjoying the sights and sounds of the bustling market, we stumbled across the Whole Spice booth…we were immediately drawn to the  long table lined with different olive oils and vinegars to sample. Those are the best kinds of booths…sample this, sample that, pretend you haven’t sampled this one yet…you know how it goes.

One of the olive oils we sampled was a basic oil mixed with Whole Spice Napa Valley Blend. Ok guys. This stuff is AMAZING. I’ll try to stop shouting about it, but we really do love it that much. You can use this spice mix for just about anything you can dream up. We’ve used it to season quinoa dishes, eggs, meat, bread…the list goes on. In this recipe, we marinated some salmon with two basic ingredients, threw in some Napa Valley spice blend and voila! Grilled salmon seasoned to perfection.
