Cinnamon-Orange Salmon

Filed Under All, dinner, grilled, seafood, techniques | Leave a Comment

Salmon is a great fish for grilling, and as long as you can get it off the grill in one piece, it looks terrific on the plate. The technique below is borrowed from a recipe for soy/maple glazed salmon from Cook’s Illustrated, and it works pretty well. Just be sure your grill is nice & [...]

Soups made from winter squashes can be warming and healthful and flavorful, but often they are a little too sweet for my palate, and while some can tend to hide the taste of the squash, I believe this one highlights it pretty well.  I included a little of one of my favorite vegetables, fennel, and [...]

One more corn recipe for the tail end of the corn season here. Macque choux is a dish you rarely find outside of Lousiana unless, of course, you make it yourself. It’s sort of like a cajun succotash. And while the bacon grease isn’t strictly necessary, it does taste very, very good. I keep a [...]
