People like easy things. Especially men. They like simple, easy recipes. And easy women. They can’t help it, they just do. Ok, geez I’m kidding. Only 94% of men like easy women. The other 6% are married. Eeeek, I just offended a lot of people. Oops. And now my guy friends are going to text me today to tell me that I’m being whiny. The other day, while drinking alcoholic beverages, they informed me that I’m annoying. This is something that is a true statement. BUT they said it was because I’ve been so whiny lately on my blog about being single.
Ok guys. Let’s chat. All my guy friends are single because they want to be. Not because they haven’t met a nice girl. They literally just like being with the bros, spitting beer at each other, and yelling obscenities. And I get it. Bros do bro stuff. Who needs b*tches when you got your bros fo’ life, right? Well, the tough part for me is I don’t like beer. And I cuss enough on my blog that I don’t have to yell it in public places. So, I actually think spending time with a nice man would be a great. And since that nice man isn’t around, I’m forced to be a bro with all my guy friends, so I’m going to whine about it on my blog. That’s just fact. I think you should thank me for not whining to you all about it, instead, utilizing the world wide web for that purpose. You’re welcome.
Oh goodness. I’m so happy and excited. I leave for California tomorrow!! For the ‘Fuel the Fire’ Fundraiser at CrossFit Anaerobic 2 in Laguna Niguel! It’s going to be awesome. Do you live in California? Do you like CrossFit and paleo? Do you want to show me around California? Perfect. Be there. You can sign up here!! Do it!
Speaking of awesome events for charity, yet another one is coming up. But this one is in Colorado! My good friend, Clark from CrossFit South Denver, will be hosting Denver Bears for Kids Charity Competition! The charity competition will be October 27th from 1-4 pm and ALL proceeds will go to Denver Children’s Home. It’s a competition built for all levels of CrossFitters. AND PaleOMG will be representing at the competition to help raise some extra money. For every $10 raised, Clark and I will do 1 burpee. And there will be a race to see who can finish the burpees first. Should be fun, in a disturbing way. Thankfully I love burpees. Check out the link to sign up or to just donate!! Hope to see some faces there!
I just ate the sh*t ton of plantains. Like, dear god Juli. Get your life together.

Just made this and loved it! I added just a bit of honey to the mustard and some finely chopped pecans to the coconut flour that gave it a yummy crunch. It’s going to be a regular in my rotation, thank you for all your recipes, you are amazing 🙂
This was incredibly easy…thanks for sharing this!
Awesome recipe! I’m trying this out now, hopefully it will turn out as good as your picture!
Do you cover the salmon up in foil or leave it open and just lay it in foil?
Just lay it on foil
Nom, that was great! Thanks for the recipe. Now I just have to find more like it since I’ve just been told I’m allowed (read: expected) to cook more.
Cant wait to make this tonight.
maybe im just dumb but i don’t see the carb or calorie information anywhere!! this is extremely disappointing for a recipe that is suppose to be low carb. please try to fix this or make them more obvious
Nope, I don’t have the ability and chemical background to be able to find out the exact carb content in my food. You can use many other websites out there to help figure out the nutritional info.
My husband and father just caught 3 HUGE steelhead trout last weekend… I am now knee deep in trout (very similar to salmon) and needless to say I am finding new ways to cook this trout! Can’t wait to try it tonight!
I am just starting the Paleo diet, and I read that we are not supposed bake or cook with olive oil. It should be used for salads only. So I assume a good alternative for your recipe would be macadamia nut oil, or coconut oil? Thanks!
coconut oil would be great, it will just taste different
Do you think I could use almond flour? I don’t have coconut flour in my pantry tonight.
yes but it may be different tasting
