Since I started writing this blog, my twitter friends are always asking "what's for dinner tonight?" I laugh, because at 8 in the morning while sipping my first cup of coffee "what's for dinner" is usually the last thing on my mind. Today though my mind was consumed with a friend in trouble. She's a lovely lady I met on twitter and am so thankful to social networking for bringing us together. She's a beautiful, smart, strong, funny and knowledgeable lady with a huge heart that I admire so. I love and care about you my sweet friend and will always be here for you. Stay positive! I look forward to the day we get to meet in person.
This morning the repairman was here checking on my ice machine that is not working. The bad news is the ice machine needs to be replaced. Replacing any part on a new appliance makes no sense whatsoever. The good news is the company is replacing the refrigerator. Problem solved.
Now ... what to have for dinner?
Poached Salmon, Asparagus & Tomatoes
ingredients:
1 piece of fresh salmon
asparagus
heirloom tomatoes
shallot, thinly sliced
1 piece of dill
lemon
kosher salt and pepper
chardonnay
directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a roasting pan place your salmon in the middle with the asparagus and tomatoes around. Salt and pepper. Place a piece of dill on top of the salmon. If you're not a fan of dill, leave it out. You can always substitute with Italian parsley or nothing at all. Add as much or as little shallots as you like to the top of the fish. Add Chardonnay to cover about a third of the salmon. Juice half of a lemon and you're ready for the oven.
Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes depending on the amount of fish.
A fish spatula is a must! Once you own one, it will be on your list of favorite kitchen tools.
Enjoy and Bon Appetit!

DeleteI can't wait to be able to cook for you and Mike. You two will always have a special place in my heart. Your wedding picture is proudly displayed in my den. Another blessing of social networking. My life is richer because you and Mike are in it. Now that you have a new refrigerator, time to start cooking! ღ
DeleteWe love you Beth!!! I actually love cooking and food. I was depressed for a while, I was still grieving from my father's death but I actually feel like I have the life back in me now. I feel motivated to do the things I love again and cooking is actually one of them. Mike misses my cooking too. So I can't wait to try some of your recipes. Xoxoxo
DeleteWow, this dish looks sooo good. I can't wait to try it. You are an amazing chef! A five star restaurant has nothing on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! XOXO
