Lisa Boyd’s Citrus Lavender Salmon

Salmon covered in lemon slices

Have you ever had incredible fish? I mean like really incredible fish. Fish that is so fresh and tender, it literally melts in your mouth? Fish that is so delicious you try to convince your spouse to become a fisherman just so you can enjoy that caliber of fresh fish more often?!?!

Well, that is the quality of fish you will find at local Palos Verdes seafood market, Great American International Seafood Market, located in the Golden Cove Shopping Center. Although this market is newer to the peninsula (opened in 2018) their parent company, Southwind Foods, has operating out of Palos Verdes since 1975, and now distributes seafood to over 14,000 vendors nationwide. Isn’t that incredible that we have access to such fresh seafood? Lucky us!!

Go into the store and pick up some great seafood! Or meet me there on THURSDAY, MARCH 26th from 2-6pm and learn how to make some of my favorite seafood dishes. Can’t wait to see you!
