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. 

Level of difficulty: Easy.Time: 30 minutes. Status: Parve.

Enjoy

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.

As usual there is something even in the summer that
catches a writer's or artist's eye

Go to that little place by the seaside to grab a sweet treat

Or the diner that serves handspun milkshakes with hotdogs or hamburgersas you deck it up how you want
it with a side of fries or slaw

There's nothing else like them, just like the

good ole' days!

Check out new places to take solitude

Watermelon is ripe and ready to eat

Listen to great music or read a catch up on summer reading

Rerun movies with a flare of laughter as

 Summer days put us into a daze 

As summer cookouts or a seaside or go to the square for a summer meal to relax and 

hear open mic music, new songs to first reads of a story to see how others respond. Do it if you dare!

Most of all, have a fun safe summer!

STUFFED PEPPERS

Makes 6 servings. 

• 8-10 mini bell peppers (yellow, red, orange or green)

Filling: 

• 1¼ cups round rice
• 1 medium onion, chopped finely
• 2 Tbsp. tehina
• ½ cup parsley, chopped finely
• ¼ cup cilantro
• 3 mint sprigs
• 1 medium tomato, cut into small pieces
• 1 spicy red or green pepper, chopped finely
• 1 pinch ginger
• 1 tsp. pomegranate concentrate
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce: 

• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1 spicy red pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 2-3 lemon slices
• 1½-2 cups water
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ tsp. paprika
• ¼ tsp. harissa

Cut off the tops of the peppers, and put them aside for later. Cut out the pith and seeds from the peppers and rinse well. 

To prepare the filling, place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Spoon the filling into the peppers, and place the pepper tops over the filling. 

To prepare the sauce, cut all of the vegetables into thin strips. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté. Add the spices and the water and bring to a boil. 

Arrange the stuffed peppers in a flat, round baking dish. Carefully pour the sauce around the peppers (add more water if necessary). Cover with a sheet of baking paper, then aluminum foil on top. 

Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 180° for 30-40 minutes until the peppers have softened and the liquid has been absorbed. Serve hot. 

Level of difficulty: Medium.Time: 1.5 hours. Status: Vegetarian
