For as long as I remember, I have always been a sleep talker. I don’t do it often, but when I do, it’s kind of funny. Typically, I won’t really remember when I do it but sometimes, I’ll wake myself up from the talking or the yelling/screaming. Yes, I’ve been known to yell/scream in my sleep. It’s funny (to me) but can be really scary for others. My mom said she’d used to hear me from all the way in their bedroom yelling, “nine feet! Nine feet!” haha – maybe I was playing football? Or, let’s talk about the first time Rachel and I ever roomed together. Of course that’d be another time I talked in my sleep. Haha, so embarrassing! She was a good sport about it though and tried to keep a conversation going ;)
This past Saturday night, I had a really freaky dream. I dreamt that we were on a plane and we crash landed in the middle of NYC. I always dream of plane crashes – which is partly why I’m terrified of flying. The dreams just feel so real. Anyway, so in my dream on Saturday, the plane took off but then just lost air or something and we started falling and then we skidded to a stop. No one was hurt and the plane was still intact and we all were hurrying off the plane. Apparently the people we were with wanted to stick around for medical assistance but instead, I yelled “NOOOOO!” and made us run because I was afraid the plane would blow up from the fire. Yeah, so I actually yelled “NOOOOO!” outloud and woke Jason up. He said it was like a blood-curdling “no.” Haha, I remember myself waking up but I went right back to sleep and the dream started again. It was really weird.
Do you have any quirky sleeping habits?
Summer is winding down. We got a bunch of coho salmon and we just had to throw it on the grill with some slammin’ salmon rub before the summer went away. The rub consisted of sugar, chili powder, salt, paprika, black pepper, cumin, chipotle powder, dutch cocoa powder, mustard, and cinnamon. Seriously, it elevates this coho to a whole ‘nother level. I think the char from the grill brought out the flavors of the salmon and rub even more, too. Grilling salmon keeps your salmon moist, delicious, and gives a killer crust on the outside. We served our salmon with a side of sweet corn (slathered in butter, of course!) and a leafy green salad. We were absolutely stuffed and had happy bellies full of coho salmon :)
It’s super simple to put together a grilled salmon dish together like this one! Just grab some of your favorite seafood/fish rub, turn on the grill, and you’ve got yourself an easy weeknight meal!

Beautiful photo of the salmon! If I grill it on the stove, is oil needed in the pan?
@Candice,
Yes ma’am, and more than you think if you want a really crispy skin. Go with an avocado oil or something similar.
Gorgeous salmon!
I too talk in my sleep kind of like what you describe. I’m always fighting off something at yelling out at that “something”. I do sometimes scare my husband. I usually don’t remember it but have been known to wake myself up. My son too talks in his sleep but his talking is more the conversation version. Occassionally you can talk to him and he’ll answer you. He never admits to remembering it.
This salmon recipe sounds good. I’m not a big salmon eater (prefer Tilapia), but my husband and daughter both like it. So I’m always looking for some other way to fix it hoping that I’ll start liking it.
Haha, those are some funny stories about your family and sleep talking! I always find it interesting when you can have a conversation with someone sleeping! I do hope you give salmon another try :) it’s so good! If it’s the fishy taste that turns you off, try buying Copper River salmon – it’s so fresh and pure that the fishy taste is almost non-existent. I also have another salmon recipe coming Wednesday if you want to give that one a try too :) it’s got sauce all over the salmon!
haha. My husband talks in his sleep too. I don’t talk in my sleep but I do have crazy dreams and not only are they crazy I have the same dream over and over a lot. (Like same events, same areas etc) So weird.
However, back to the recipe! The Salmon looks beautiful! One of our favorite fishes to eat! Will have to make this recipe for hubby!
I talk in my sleep too! The hubs says I have lengthy conversations sometimes, which is kind of scary should I ever agree to anything!! In love with this salmon recipe! Let’s grill into winter:)
Perfect!! Such an awesome fish to cook and the bonus is that my kids can eat tons of it :)
What a horrible reoccuring dream Julie!! yikes! I talk in my sleep too- but not so much since I sleep so lightly after having children. My kids talk MAJORLY in their sleep though- it is so crazy! The salmon is beautiful.
This looks delicious! Talking in your sleep is scary for others. I once was yelling for my dad out loud and he came running to my room in the middle of the night. I’m sure I scared him to death.
My kids are sleep talkers all of them (3), I did a little when I was pregnant with one of them but I sure do have nightmares, don’t like those, I’m sensitive and always end up worrying to much about what is the meaning of my dreams……love your recipe ;0)
My kids love salmon! Thanks for the reminder to grill some before the summer ends.
