The Case of the Mistaken Fish

We bought some frozen swordfish a week or two ago. Yes frozen and prepackaged, but I had never had swordfish and was so looking forward to it. We also bought some salmon.

There was a moment of alarm when I looked in the fridge and couldn't find the swordfish, only the salmon. I had a whole meal (ok packaged noodles and steamed broccoli) planned around that swordfish. But! Alas I found it. Standing there in front of the freezer, both the salmon and swordfish in hand, looking NOTHING like eachother in meat or packaging, I thought I put the salmon back. YEs I know what I salmon looks and tastes like, but I am less familar with swordfish.

So I make the meal. The noodles are ok. The broccoli is good. I had looked up a swordfish recipe and followed it to the T. But I was concerned that my meat did not seem to be fitting the done decscription. Deciding it was done I served up the plates, sat down, cut into it and - SALMON!

I made the stupid f-ing salmon!!!! Chris said I must have actually wanted the salmon. I was like NO! I swear I wanted the swordfish. How the hec did this happen? Depsite it all the salmon was suprisingly still tasty, a little over cooked maybe but not bad. But still. Where the hec was my mind at?
