Wednesday Morning

DEBRA

After just 2-3 days of rain in LA, I was happy to wake up to a little sunshine yesterday. Just a shot of morning coffee in the nook.  Cheers!

Lemon Basil Salmon

DEBRA

So I thought my favorite fish was had at my friend's Ritz Carlton wedding, but this really rivals the memory of a succulent, fresh and bright fish dish.

1-1.33 lbs salmon

1c fresh basil

1/2 lemon, juiced

2-3 cloves garlic

1/4-1/2c stock/broth (less if you like thicker "sauce")

1/4c olive oil

S&P

Blend all ingredients but Salmon, until pureed. Butter small baking dish and salmon, lay salmon skin-side down. Pour lemon-basil puree on and broil for 4-6 min each side. Spoon over top to serve.

 

Haricots-Vert Italiano Style

(translation: the most delicious string beans you've ever had)

Prepare and steam green beans until desired tenderness is reached.  Drain in colander.

Melt a heaping tablespoon of butter in same saucepan and add 3-5 cloves chopped garlic.  Sautee until just toasted (you may want to add a drizzle of olive oil to extend butter). Add a shot of balsamic vinegar and let evaporate (1 min.)  Add beans back to pan, salt and pepper liberally, toss to coat.

Invite Deb over for dinner.

57 Pieces of homemade heaven!

I made this sushi a few weeks ago, and have been meaning to post it! Besides lusting after unaffordable ways to decorate my apartment, this is my second passion to art...ok and fashion is in there somewhere, but who can rate anything when the possibility of THIS is in the back of your head!

This should be my summer business... sigh....
