It's not like one person thought this up and tried it at home. If it's for sale in a store, even a small one that's not part of a chain, multiple people had to agree that this was a great idea and that people would want it. I kind of want to stalk the seafood section and see if anybody actually buys it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 It might sound different if you weren't in the habit of calling those ingredients 'pumpkin pie spice.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 My (late) grandfather used to love to go to Alaska for salmon & halibut fishing. They’d get it flash frozen and shipped back with dry ice. Grandma tried all sorts of ways of cooking it over the years. By far the grossest I tasted was with brown butter & cinnamon. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the name definitely doesn't help! 😂 But that combination of spices sounds like it would be disgusting on salmon, even without the questionable name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those spices have been used like that around the world for centuries. Look at old American cookbooks and they put nutmeg in everything.

Look at old American cookbooks and they put nutmeg in everything. I buy jars of prepared pumpkin pie spice (which is probably exactly what they are using on that salmon,) and just the thought of that flavor on salmon is enough to make me queasy. It's not so much the individual spices that is so gross to me; it's the exact way they are combined in the jars of pumpkin spice mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I say nothing about anyone's pumpkin pie spice mix, because those spices are still sold separately here and pumpkins are almost entirely savoury. But, I've tried that salmon or something similar and found it unpleasant because they used too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Apparently I’m wrong. Nutmeg was incredibly expensive in the middle ages so it was in almost every recipe but used in comparatively few. Maybe it was still widely used in the 1800’s because a hunk of nutmeg traveled well and didn’t easily break or spill. https://www.nuproductsseasoning.com/nuspotlight/recipes/nutmeg-classic-and-medieval-recipes/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was probably cheap, too, but even if it was expensive, a little nutmeg goes a LONG way, and it's something that would stay good for a long time. Every time I add "just a little extra" nutmeg to anything, it always ends up being "way too much." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace Hopper Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Ok so I had to learn that pumpkin spice =/= pumpkin flavor. So I’m at least trying to imagine those spices on a slab of salmon. With a little honey or molasses, and grilled, maybe? But the marketing is shameless. Edited October 25, 2023 by Grace Hopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local Indians do a salmon dinner at Tillicum Village - the salmon is smoked over alderwood fires. that's it. You put junk on salmon that has no flavor.
