baked). Nuked brussels sprouts.
What's for dinner at your house tonight?
One of our standards - salmon with a topping of chestnut mushrooms,
walnuts, and shallots, served with a baked potato and peas.
How do you make the topping?
(I'm thinking "mushrooms shallots and walnuts + butter,
slightly whizzed in processor. apply to salmon; bake".
I've tried whizzing it, but we like it better with identifiable bits.
I use butter and/or walnut oil to saute thinly sliced shallots, then add
sliced mushrooms, followed by roughly chopped walnuts.
Next, I season the salmon portions (usually with a lemon pepper
mix),sear them, again using butter/walnut oil, turn them, then add the
topping to that pan with a little single cream or half-and-half, and
cover the pan to finish cooking. I often top it with fresh snipped
parsley when serving.
I usually prepare rice to go with the salmon - half black rice, half
brown basmati, with multi-colour carrots and sugar snap peas. The
combination looks very pretty on the plate.
But I was lazy and jet-lagged, so just did potato and peas this time.
