I've been a pescetarian since February. I have been surprised by the limited seafood options we have here in New Haven (and in some parts of New York City). I found out that not all grocery stores carry tuna or scallops, simply because they have been so expensive and not enough people buy them.
Luckily there is salmon -- there is always salmon. The problem is you can only roast/grill it in so many ways before you are tired of it. I was literally having salmon for every single dinner for a week straight, and finally enough was enough.
Then I bought a 2lb bag of shrimp and some cod, and the story repeated itself -- I got tired of both very quickly.
I was ready for salmon again. But not so quick. The re-entry should be special. It almost felt like a reunion -- salmon deserves a comeback with an air of grandeur. So I got some sockeye, and made this as an appetizer: Salmon Gravlax. But I went the rustic route, and made the slice big and grandeur in the literal sense.
