Hi gang, dinner Nov 11th, 2017
I decided to have salmon and broiled asparagus. I intended to prepare a Caesar salad, had all the ingredients, but my appetite usurped.
I marinated 8 oz. of salmon in Yoshida's sauce and broiled it. The idea is to broil it skin side up first, while you are reducing your marinade, then flip it and pour the reduced (sterilized) marinade on top and cook to conclusion. You slide your spatula between skin and filet and move the filet to serving dish.
I served with broiled asparagus. The nerve, my market just this week included a boil bag of Hollandaise sauce? Jeez, Julia Child must have been rolling in her grave. Hollandaise in a boil bag? Well it didn't taste that bad although it would not be a buying plus for me. If I want to have Hollandaise I'll make it according to Julia's recipe, not some stupid boil bag.
Dinner was good: broiled Asian/Yoshida salmon, broiled asparagus (I'll toss the bag next time), and a nice Chardonnay (Vendage - an economy brand but a nice price at about $7/1.5L).
All in all it was a good dinner.
