Although you wouldn't guess it based on my previous discussions of fries and pies, I am making real efforts to eat healthy. This of course makes me sad. Very, very, sad. Healthy eating means I can't have my favorite food, French fries, or its not so distant relation, the chili cheese fry, all the time; so I have to find other things to eat that are both nutritious and have good flavor. This is where Costco saves the day (doesn't it always?).
My love for Costco runs DEEP. As far as I'm concerned, they can do no wrong or very little wrong. I have only tasted one food item from that establishment which I did not like, it was the Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad. Nope. I couldn't stomach it. One product out of a million fantastic other ones is hardly a reason to stop patronizing the joint.
In my quest for a healthy meal I do not have to prepare myself (since I seldom bother with cooking) I decided to try out the Salmon Milano with Basil Pesto Butter. You can see the photo below of what the uncooked product looks like. That's right, it looks like portions of salmon that have ice cream scoops of a green butter on top along with some dill weed. You will find this in the open refrigerated section of Costco. It looked appetizing to me, so I grabbed one to bake at home. Here is how it turned out. Looks yummy, doesn't it?
Next up, I want to try the crab stuffed salmon from Costco. While I'm not the biggest fan of crab, it keeps calling my name when I walk by, so I must succumb to its cries and sample it one day. When I try that, I will be sure to let you all know what I think.
Sincerely,
Carrie

This product did not disappoint. It was filling, the salmon was soft, and the basil pesto butter added wonderful flavor to the fish. Taking bites with the dill actually tasted the best. Yummy. Ultimately, it was nice to have something to pop in the oven and eat within 20 minutes that is healthier and wouldn't disappoint the ol' taste buds. If you are looking for an already prepared food item from Costco that is easy to make, I strongly recommend this product. Pair it with a baked potato, maybe some asparagus, and you will look like the next Food Network star.
