Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Salmon and vegetables
SALMON AND VEGETABLES
Pascale’s Kitchen: From oven to table
I like to switch up the filling to keep things exciting – sometimes I use a beef filling, other times quinoa, which can be mixed with dried fruits.

SALMON AND VEGETABLES
Makes 8-10 servings.
- 4 large garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tsp. spice rub (cumin, coriander, paprika or fish mix)
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 3 Tbsp. dried tomato paste or olive tapenade or pesto
- 1 tsp. pickled lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 salmon filet
- 4-5 slices fresh lemon
- Sides:
- Basket cherry tomatoes of varying colors
- 1 red onion or scallion, sliced
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- ½ cup green olives, pitted
- 2 Tbsp. capers (optional)
- 1 heaping Tbsp. dried tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tsp. dried tomato paste
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Place the crushed garlic in a large bowl, then add the spices, lemon juice, tomato paste, pickled lemon, salt, pepper and oil. Mix well.
Place a sheet of baking paper on a tray, then lay the salmon fillet on it, with the skin facedown. Then, spread the mixture all over the salmon (if you have some left over, you can store in the fridge).
Add the lemon slices on top of the salmon.
Wash the tomatoes well and remove the stems. Place them all around the salmon. Add the onion slices, olives, capers and dried tomatoes. Add the tomato paste and the rest of the mixture that you’d spread on top of the fish. Add the basil and parsley leaves.
Sprinkle some olive oil on everything, then cook the salmon in an oven that has been preheated to 200° for 20-25 minutes. Remove and serve.

June Open Thread: Summer Days Ahead
Summer is around the corner for many, but it's already started here in the South. Temps are soaring into the upper 80s making it feel like 100. Pool is open.
