Roast/Poach: Salmon with Mustard

Roast/Poach: Salmon with Mustard by Maria Filice

This is great at a dinner party or anytime. I get more compliments from this salmon dish and it’s so simple to prepare. Here’s my secret…… Ps - I usually garnish with dill (my first choice) but since I forgot to buy it (it happens), and was too lazy to go back to the market (that happens too), I got a little creative.

Pene alla Tuna Puttanesca

Pene alla Tuna Puttanesca by Maria Filice

One of my favorite pasta sauce's is Puttanesca sauce. I love the combination of olives, capers, anchovies and garlic to the tomatoe sauce. I always keep these ingredients in my pantry and a great way to have variety when you don't know what to make. In this sauce, I added tuna and it was fantastic. This is simple, quick and a classic!

BROILED SALMON WITH BREAD CRUMBS

BROILED SALMON WITH BREAD CRUMBS by Anthony Wayne Longo

Today’s trend is to infuse salmon with Asian style influences, sweet glazes, ginger, and soy sauce. While this has certainly resulted in a great deal of tasty alternatives for salmon, I wanted to un-complicate this delicious piece of fish into something simpler but still deep with flavor.
