Last night, I had slim pickings for  dinner ingredients. I threw together some of the remaining items in my fridge along with some leftover salmon and made this wonderful quiche. My children had seconds and thirds. And this morning, I had a little piece on toast for brunch. It was so delicious. The dill  adds a delightful [...]

This was SO delicious ! It’s got great depth of flavor. A little sweet and a little savory. My favorite. If I may make a suggestion: prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and put them to the side of the saute pan so they are ready to add when you need them. The cooking time is VERY [...]

Sadly, mackerel is a forgotten fish – primarily because it doesn’t “present” well on the plate. But, it’s actually quite delicious. And it [...]

pineapple baked salmon

published 2 years ago, at the end of June

This is another staple in our house. We try and eat salmon at least once per week. Studies have shown that the omega oils in cold water fish such as salmon and mackerel are the most heart healthy fish you can buy. We only purchase wild salmon: usually alaskan, (aka coho, sockeye, or alaskan king).  {Be very weary [...]
