So, the carnivorous side of me has been tabled for a bit. Once in a while, I like to tread on the ‘beefy’ side of things. With those chilly temperatures in my neck of the woods, I know that I’ll revisit.
Today, it’s all about a return to the briny deep. That’s where I fetched a lovely catch (skinless salmon). Though I like ‘skin-on’, I settled for what was available. In my mind’s eye, I pretended I was up Maine or the Alaska.
Anyway, brought the omega-fatty acid catch home and decided to pan-sear in a drizzle of olive oil. First, I made sure to season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. I also added a crushed garlic clove which was discarded before pan searing.
After a quick dry on paper towel, fish was seared for approximately four to five minutes per side. This was set aside and chopped onions and olives were added to skillet. After softening of onions, left-over white wine (chardonnay), a squeeze of lemon and a sprig of fresh thyme were added to pan. I made sure to season along.
A pat of butter was added to pan under low heat. Then, salmon was added back to pan in order to soak up all the aromatic flavors. And, because fish love acid, I decided to further add a few capers along with finely chopped parsley for garnish.
Seared salmon was served over whole grain pasta (spaghetti) along with left-over grilled eggplant and feta cheese.

I'm an avid reader and love to get lost between these beautiful words. I find reading to be a social activity because it allows me a peek inside other people's minds which in turn makes me more empathetic towards others. One day in the near future, I hope to publish my very own words in the area of poetry as well as my other love, food.
Yoga and speed walking are just a few of the things that keep me balanced and centered. I love family and friends; and, of course, wholesome foods with a glass of cocktail. Life is what you make of it. And, I try to savor and enjoy the simple and precious moments.
