For our brunch last Sunday I made Smoked Whitefish Salad. I use very little mayo relative to the amount of fish so the rich flavor of the smoked fish really shines through. You could even omit the mayonnaise altogether and simply add a little olive oil to the lemon juice. The only thing challenging about…

Ina’s Linguine with Shrimp Scampi
Here’s a recipe from Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa that never disappoints. It is one I have made numerous times. It is quick and delicious, and you will likely have most of the ingredients on hand, except the shrimp. It’s a good idea to keep a bag of shrimp in your freezer for use…
Salmon “Bulgogi” With Bok Choy And Mushrooms
There’s a reason I find it difficult to part with my cooking magazines, even if they’re seemingly outdated. Good food doesn’t have an expiration date, as evidenced by the salmon dish above. In an effort to purge some of my Bon Apppetit magazines recently I grabbed a few to scan in case there was something…
Garlic Chive Shrimp Fried Rice With Garlic Chips
The other evening I had some raw shrimp and some left-over rice so it made perfect sense that I should make a fried rice dish for dinner. A couple of years ago when scouring the internet for a buttermilk fried chicken recipe I landed on Marc Matsumoto’s food blog called norecipes.com. He had some amazing…
Grilled Salmon and Veggies on a Torta Roll
Here’s a great way to serve salmon…in a sandwich! It’s a super easy alternative for a light meal during these dog days of summer, which seem to have arrived early this year. It’s also a healthy meal. The salmon teams up with grilled fresh vegetables which have marinated in a vinaigrette before being placed on…
Fish and Chips
For the first time in weeks our temperature was in the 80’s yesterday. It is amazing how cool 88 degrees can seem after coming down from a run of 100 degree days! So cool in fact that I felt perfectly comfortable frying up some cod fillets I had in the fridge and turning them into…
Grilled Shrimp Rolls
The Grilled Shrimp Roll pictured above was the entree for the summer dinner I served last week to friends. I combined what I considered the best parts of several recipes. The shrimp were marinated in olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, and garlic before grilling on skewers. I then tossed them with a tarragon-caper mayonnaise and…
Halibut Pot Roast
I"m always looking for interesting ways to cook fish. And I love making one pot meals. Not only is the clean up time reduced , but there’s something wonderful that happens when all the various components cook together and the flavors have a chance to meld… think beef pot roast, boeuf en daube, coq au…
Baked Wild Salmon With Almond-Lime Sauce
For dinner last night I made Baked Wild Salmon With Almond-Lime Sauce. It’s been several weeks since I’ve really cooked because we recently returned from our trip to the west coast which included trips to LA, San Luis Obispo on the central coast (with a stopover for lunch in Santa Barbara), and San Francisco. To…
Slow-Roasted Salmon With Spring Herb Sauce
Okay, I know it’s October and not spring, but this recipe for Slow-Roasted Salmon With Spring Herb Sauce is just too delicious and easy not to serve year round. I have to admit to being a bit tired of grilled salmon and this method of slow-roasting the salmon found in The Herbal Kitchen by Jerry…
