Default Last night's dinner

I used a recipe from Food TV to bake salmon. This called for topping the
salmon with chopped shallots, diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon oregano and 1
teaspoon thyme, then putting the sealed packets in the oven for 25 minutes
at 350.

The salmon was delicious, but not the topping (quantities of herbs were too
much and the diced tomatoes were unexciting. I need to find a tastier
topping (or sauce). Does anyone have a favorite? TIA

Dora

in foil or parchment paper. That works, but it's not really baked
salmon -- it's steamed. The simplest topping we like is nothing more
than a mixture of soy sauce and honey. This is good for grilling, our
preferred way, but also for baking in a dish, uncovered. Quantities
and proportions entirely up to you, as is whether to use a flavored
honey.

I've steamed salmon before in foil and found salsa to be a good topping
before sealing the foil up. I also like to put some fresh broccoli in
there also.

Thank you all for your responses and I've saved the suggestions. Funny -
Food TV actually calls it "Baked Salmon in Foil".
I've always poached in lemon water (and apparently steamed!) salmon, since I
like it very moist and mild. How moist and mild is it if it is baked in an
open dish?

I'm certainly going to try the tips all of you gave me. Many thanks.

Dora

One of the best salmon dishes I've eaten was very fresh (flown in that day)
Copper River salmon topped with soy sauce, honey and chopped pecans. Broiled
to perfection! Unfortunately accompanied with greatly undercooked carrots
and broccoli and a blah rice pilaf. The dessert helped though: double
chocolate cake with a fudge filling and drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Copper river salmon is really excellent.

And how I wish we could buy it - on the East Coast, we're pretty well
confined to farm-raised Atlantic salmon. When Alan Zelt was paying $3.95 a
pound a year or so ago, to buy Alaskan salmon here at the wholesale fish
market was prohibitive, when available.

Copper River salmon is very expensive even at the Pike Street market in
Seattle, close to the source. But that farm-raised stuff is bad news.
Even if they claim to have stopped using antibiotics and hormones, the
fish is kept penned where the water is shallow and warmer, resulting in
mushy flesh from lack of enough exercise and less flavor from less fat.
They add coloring to the food near the end of the growing cycle, for
chissakes, to make it look better!

Dora, the key to baking fish in an open dish is to pour a bit of milk around
the fish prior to baking. And don't over-cook it. Mine always comes out
nice and moist. I don't care for poached fish.

A friend brought over some nice whitefish last night for dinner, chicken was
originally on the menu but he is observing Lent...he did it in a skillet
with some butter and lemon juice, quite nice.

I made a big vegetable cole slaw (broccoli slaw, etc.) and made a huge thang
of stir - fried vegetables in spicy oyster sauce...the starch was brown rice
cooked in the rice cooker with a can of coconut milk and some tamarind
juice...

We watched _The Bad Seed_ and _Polyester_...he also left a BIG litre bottle
of Stoli Raspberry that he got duty - free on a recent trip (he flies for
United)... ;-p

Healthy and very tasty I must say, I've got lotsa leftovers to boot...not
too shabby. My pal is on Weight Watchers so it was an ideal healthy meal
(brown rice is much better than white, the white is very high on the
glycemic index; the brown is an ideal "complex carbohydrate")

Nice asparagus is 98 cents per pound. I might buy a bunch to pickle. It's
one of my fave things to eat but I have to watch it because it seems to
trigger gout :-(

Sounds good!

You talking about the one with Patty McCormack? Evil little wench

I sure wish asparagus would go below $3 for a small (not even a pound) bunch
here. I love asparagus.

You got that right! I love wild Atlantic salmon. The farmed stuff isn't even
close. It is nasty.

I know, I know. (sigh) - but what to do when the farm-raised is the only
game in town and you have a hankering for salmon? I agree it's bland and
mushy. As I see it, I need to move to the West coast, preferably in the
Seattle area - or to Alaska, where I can catch my own. Confound my
neighbour, who went from Maryland to Alaska in order to go salmon fishing
and gave me my longing for the "real thing" ;-( I *never* see it in the
markets here, but then I'm in the boonies.

It means out in the middle of nowhere... out in the country...several miles
from a town/city.

Does that help?

Hi, Ophelia! It's a slang short form of "boondocks", which MW defines as;
1. a jungle or a wild, heavily wooded area; wilderness.
2. Any remote rural or provincial region; hinterland.

Item 2 covers where I am, although I sometimes I feel like I'm living in a
jungle!

Hugs,
Dora

Cyndi, good description. I'm ten miles from mediocre Supermarket #1 and 25
miles from Supermarket #2, with no "corner store".
So, when people say "drop in at your local Asian store", or "Greek store", I
just chuckle.
Going to Costco (about 40 to 45 miles each way) means I'm going to stock up
on a good quantity of staples.

It's short for boondocks. I lived in the "sticks".
