Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived. I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon over Spinach Couscous is a go-to staple meal in our house. Or at least it used to be before we became a food blogging family. We easily had this dish once a week and would have to force ourselves to occasionally change up the way we prepared salmon. Continue reading »

Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad.
This is such a wonderful weeknight meal. Simple fresh ingredients that come together with ease. Glorious maple pecan encrusted salmon over a bed of crisp romaine with hard boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, homemade croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. As delicious as you could find in a restaurant, enjoyed in the comfort of home. Continue reading »

The inspiration to make this bowl of love came from these five beautiful words… Cajun Salmon & Sweet Potato Chowder. That was enough for me to go buy a beautiful piece of salmon and get to work.

Salmon with Roasted Vegetable Orzo.
Sharing a nice simple dinner we enjoyed recently. Not much to the recipe, but sometimes a little inspiration is all you need. Have fun with it. Season your salmon the way you love it, roast it with a few of your favorite summer veggies, and serve over a bed a orzo pasta. Continue reading »

Maple Horseradish Glazed Salmon.
Discovering the incredible flavor pairing of maple and horseradish changed my culinary world….or has at least inspired several really delicious dishes. We have used this Maple Horseradish Glaze recipe on roasted beets, baby carrots, salmon suckers, and now glazed salmon fillets. Frankly, it’s so scrumptious I would even enjoy it over vanilla ice cream. Continue reading »

Salmon & Asparagus Quiche is definitely the best way I’ve incorporated leftovers into a dish in a long time. Asparagus is so beautiful right now that I had to buy two bunches. One I used in an Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart. And one I served along side a gorgeous piece of baked salmon. There was just enough of both leftover to make a two person Salmon & Asparagus Quiche.

Is it just me or do you agree that Meatballs are a Fabulously FUN Food? I think if I were going to have a Food Truck (and you know we’ve all secretly wanted to own a food truck), I’d make it all about the meatballs ~ Mobile Meatballs. The possibilities are endless. This simple dinner of Asian Salmon Meatballs over Cauliflower Fried Rice has got my wheels spinning. Continue reading »

I realize that a Salmon BLT Salad with Avocado Aioli is not much of a recipe. And possibly not worthy of a post. However, it was really good. And the fact that it was very basic, down to packaged croutons…made it about the best thing we had eaten in at least 3 days. Continue reading »

Look at these for just a moment.
They are red currants and tonight they are recipe inspiration.
When we were growing up, one of mom’s signature party appetizers was Cocktail Franks in Red Currant Chili Sauce. We loved them. I hadn’t thought about them in quite some time until I spotted these little beauties at the market. There was no way I was leaving without them. And so we shall have Red Currant Chili Glazed Salmon over Israeli Couscous with Spinach. Continue reading »
