I am going to cook the salmon simply. Just baked, probably with some lemon.
No, I won't be eating it. I do know how to cook it, just haven't made it for
years. What would you serve with it? Anything goes. The people who will
eating it are not picky.

Thanks!

* How about parsley potatoes (cubed , boiled , butter salt and parsley)
and glazed carrots (butter & brown sugar simmered until the sugar melts
, add drained carrots , a dash of nutmeg , allspice , and cloves - cook
over low heat until the glaze dissolves and coats the carrots) ?

I have never done carrots like that. My MIL always does them with just a
little butter and maple syrup. Would the end result be the same? And thanks.
Will try those. Probably a salad too.

I wouldn't do carrots, that would be two orange foods (salmon and carrots). I would go with green
beans, broccoli or Brussels sprouts....a green veg.

Â* I very seldom consider the color when putting together a meal . I
tend more to concentrate on flavors and the interplay of textures . That
said , green beans simmered with chopped onions and bacon bits would go
well with the salmon and 'taters .

Salmon is not orange once it's cooked though. :-\

I'm with you. At least once a year I goof and end up with
cauliflower, scalloped potatoes and chicken on the same plate. What
was I thinking!!! Color pops are important to make a meal look more
appetizing.
I would do the green beans, They have a nice organized shape just
like the salmon. Then pile a nice green salad off to the side. IMO,
if it doesn't look nice, it doesn't taste good.

No problem, I want my food to look good on the plate as well as taste good.
It doesn't take much time to present an attractive plate, at least food that
is attractive to us. Now, if I lived by myself...I still would do it that
way. LOL

So what do you do there? Braise a spice (fennel) then smear

"IMO, if it doesn't look nice, it doesn't taste good."
Really?
So, I guess that means that blind people eat crappy food every
single meal?
Or even if you aren't blind, be sure to wear your glasses at
the dinner table.

Well at least, have wine with your meal.
Any and all food tastes great after a few glasses. heheh

Just teasing but in my real life I don't believe that. Taste buds
trump
over eyesight with any meal, imo. Eye candy is for restaurants
and
dinner guests. I don't ever arrange my plates for a photo shoot
like
some do here. I throw it all on a plate and feast with a smile.

Three out of 4 ferrets have approved of my meals too.

Lazy Gary here. heheh Anytime I cook for even one other, I
always consider the presentation but NEVER just for me. Not only
my lousy blurry camera, this is another reason that I don't send
meal pics often. Once it comes out of the oven or off the stove,
I plate and eat while it's nice and hot.

LMAO here! :-D
Green beans "have a nice organized shape just like the salmon."
Oh man. Please!

Please don't get mad at me, you two.
I *am* in teasing mode here this afternoon.
And for that reason, I'm signing off after this one.
My teasing always gets me in big trouble here. ;-o
Best that I return in the am.

That said, you two are being so funny with
finicky food presentation.

Again before I leave. This one was a classic. I'm saving it.

LOL, I bet they swallow the beans whole, so as not to disturb that

There are purple carrots too. Maybe that would be more pleasing to the
