I am a huge fan of ALDI’s fresh, never frozen salmon.

I was SO excited to try it.

Its fresh salmon that has been lightly smoked with real wood.

At $10.99 per pound, its fresh and ready to cook.

It doesnt need anything else.

Fresh out of the oven, the salmon is melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right touch of smoke.

Because the salmon is naturally smoked, it has a beautiful flavor that doesnt need to be dressed up.

Its easy to make a meal of it.

A pound of salmon, according to the package, makes about four servings.

Although I dream of getting back to making fancy French recipes, who am I kidding?

Im going to be making this as a regular weekday dinner staple.

And thats just fine.
