 I bought my items from Walmart. I decided to purchase from Walmart because of
accessibility and variety of items sold there.
2. Name and show the items you picked for the meal (take photo of items in your cart).

I picked raw honey, extra virgin olive oil, sockeye salmon, minced garlic, garlic
powder, onion powder, ginger, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground black pepper,
lemon juice, soy sauce, and cornstarch.

3. Did you use organic or inorganic items and why?

I used organic seasonings and raw honey. I decided to use organic seasonings because I wanted
to keep everything constant for this recipe specifically. They were about $4 each so pricing
played a factor, but I figured I would be getting quality for the price.
