Yesterday, we picked up a nice big piece of salmon at Costco and added a salad in a bag and bingo, instant (and great) dinner. When we picked out the salmon, we opted for the farm raised, which was priced at $9.99 per pound. They also had wild salmon and it looked great, but at about three times the price.
We barbecued the salmon on a cedar plank that we also bought at Costco. We put bay rub and some lime infused olive oil on it. The result was the moistest, most delicious salmon I think I've ever had. The cedar plank, which we soaked in water first, kept the salmon super moist and the bay rub gave it a nice crust on top and amazing flavor.
The salad was equally fantastic. Everything in it was incredibly fresh. For such a huge operation, I'm often amazed at how Costco can keep everything so fresh. I've always known that you can expect only the highest quality goods, but managing all of that is a real trick.
