Salmon Sausage Alfredo

Abandoned Edibles
onion, salmon sausage, parmesan cheese
(additional ingredients: fettuccine, garlic, cream, lemon juice, butter, milk, dill, lemon pepper, spices, etc.)

What I did: I had been sitting on this package of salmon sausage for a few weeks, but when I found a container of parmesan cheese in the cull bin, I knew that the time had come: it was time to make a weird, freaky dish. I had heard from some of my co-workers that this particular product had some serious structural flaws--bizarre texture, crumbling of the sausage formation, etc.--so I thought it would be best to cut up the 'sausage' into smaller pieces and use it in a pasta dish. I sauteed onions and garlic, added the salmon sausage, lemon pepper and lemon juice, and made a simple alfredo sauce using butter, cream, and the entire container of parmesan. I combined the two together, tossed it with fettuccine, and garnished with a bit of dill. Voila: salmon sausage alfredo!



The Verdict
Naaaaasty. Nasty! Salmon sausage? Nasty, nasty, NASTY! My co-workers were right: the texture of this product is BIZARRE, and totally ruined the dish. The taste was okay, but the salmon sausage was grainy, gritty, and yet somehow mushy at the same time. Sure, the finished product looked great (and the alfredo sauce was excellent, if I do say so myself) but I will never use this product again in any of my cooking. Bah humbug!

Improvements for next time: leave the salmon sausage in the cull bin, cousin! That shit ain't cool.
