Happy hour African Salmon sliders w/ spicy mayo spread

It’s 5:30 pm on Friday, the weekend is young! You’ve had a long week and can’t wait to have a good time with friends, or retreat and have some alone time with your significant other (Or by yourself). Whatever option you choose, find some inner joy and get some rest because Monday is around the corner, make the weekend count. Tuck your phone away, share some laughs, drinks and a good meal with friends.

This Friday evening was a chill one with some happy hour favorites right at home. My husband, God bless his heart ferments everything!!! Thanks to him, there is always a delicious home-brew chilling in the fridge, some homemade yogurt and now some very fizzy yummy kombucha to savor.  Happy hour at home featured an English Style Bitter (ESB) and  some  salmon sliders bursting with flavors from home. Still trying to master some beer / food pairings but I think  they complemented one another wonderfully.

Picked up some salmon fillets, fresh pretzel buns and other condiments from our local market on my way back from work and couldn’t  wait to get home and officially start the weekend. So let the music play, pour me a drink and let’s cook together. It’s happy hour at home

Salmon was seasoned with Essiespice  Meko Dry rub ( West African Spice Blend) which definitely enhanced the beautiful flavors of this fish. West-African cuisine is gaining more exposure and this fills my heart with joy. I remember going to half-price bookstore a few years back to explore some cookbooks. It was disheartening to realize there was not ONE book on the shelve focused on West -African Cuisine! Now I see books popping up on amazon, and e-books from amazing food bloggers :-).

Back to cooking. This recipe is super easy to replicate. Oh and our happy hour at home amounted to less than $10! for two……… Salmon was pan-seared with harissa infused olive oil. Then roughly shredded before building the sliders.

Valentine’s day weekend is around the corner and my three course valentine’s day dinner will feature this recipe in appetizer portions. Happy  Valentine’s Day weekend, stay blessed!
