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.

Holy Crap! Best salmon I’ve ever had. E-V-E-R!!
I just made this salmon tonight. It was Awesome! Only real difference I made (of which I will probably catch some flack for) was in place of using sea salt, I used a 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt mixed into the seasoning rub. Very tasty, thank you for posting this one.
Just made this tonight for dinner, and it was so delicious. I think I’m going to make an orange marmalade to go with it next time! Thank you!!
When you say simple, you mean it. I made this form my husband and I this weekend. It was simple, healthy, and VERY GOOD! Thank you very much 🙂
Made this tonight – I messed up the combination of ingredients. I mixed all the crust ingredients with the mustard and oil, and spread the paste on the fish. It turned out pretty nicely. When I made it as written, the family and I decided that my ‘mistake’ version was better. Bottom line, no matter how you mix it, this is a great way to bake salmon!
I’m going to make this tonight… BTW, you’re hilarious!! Your first rant about guys is spot on. We would be great friends in real life.
It’s a success!!! It’s so simple to make!!!! Normally, my dad hates salmon and he really liked it!!! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
I consider myself a seafood hater… a friend made this this weekend and I tried it…then proceeded to eat a million more bites. DELICIOUS! I’ll be making this – you rock Juli!
I’m not judging, but I’ve gotta say that I found this searching for a paleo baked salmon recipe, and was really confused when the entire blog post had nothing to do with salmon (or cooking, or paleo). I idk what ur blog is usually about but just an objective observation. maybe u shoyld pay some attention to what u do have inteast of what u dont? My salmon is getting lonely.
this comment made no sense. but thank you for my feedback. thankfully, you don’t have to read the blog post and can simply print the recipe. problem solved
Did you cover the salmon with foil?
Nope
