Oven-roasted salmon with lemon juice and olive oil
We followed this Jamie Oliver recipe, but roasted a whole salmon fillet (about 1 ¼ lbs) rather than cutting it into four pieces. We spritzed with the juice of one lemon, drizzled with olive oil (about 1 Tbsp), and lightly seasoned with salt and black pepper. We oven-roasted it in the middle rack in a… Continue reading Oven-roasted salmon with lemon juice and olive oil
Oven-roasted string beans, olives, anchovies, and tomatoes
We followed this Jamie Oliver sheet pan recipe, but cooked the salmon as a whole fillet in a separate vessel for more time: https://www.google.com/amp/www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-oliver/tray-baked-salmon-with-olives-green-beans-anchovies-and-tomatoes.amp Our modifications: first, we preheated the oven at 425.

Third, we used about ½ cup each pitted kalamata… Continue reading Oven-roasted string beans, olives, anchovies, and tomatoes
Filipino salmon sour soup (salmon sinigang)
We had a surplus of salmon fillet, so we made this soup. Cut 1.5 lb salmon fillet (without skin) into bite-sized chunks (about 2x1"), marinate in 1/3 cup lemon juice, and refrigerate for a max of 20 mins (beyond 20 mins, the fish will start to “cook” in the citrus juice, which you want to… Continue reading Filipino salmon sour soup (salmon sinigang)
Simple salad with baby arugula, strawberries, grape tomatoes, and Persian cucumber
We used a handful of each of vegetables and garnished with 1 Tbsp toasted walnuts. We drizzled the salad with 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and then lightly seasoned with salt and black pepper. (Apr. 2017)
Roast chicken coated with lemon-rosemary butter
We tried this Pioneer Woman recipe: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/roast-chicken/ For the butter mixture, we increased the zest from 2 lemons to 3 lemons. We also reduced the amount of butter by 1 Tbsp. We skipped the foil (for prep) and added 3 Yukon potatoes and 6 small Korean sweet potatoes, skin-on and cut into 3-inch chunks, to… Continue reading Roast chicken coated with lemon-rosemary butter
Lebanese oven-roasted salmon fillet
We followed a recipe from Faye Levy’s Feast from the Mideast. An online version is here: http://recipesfrom4everykitchen.blogspot.com/2007/03/lebanese-roasted-salmon.html?m=1 We used dried Greek oregano in lieu of zaatar. We also cooked the whole salmon fillet (1 ¼) lb for 15-17 mins at 450. (Apr. 2017) Note: Marinate the salmon in the lemon juice/olive oil mixture for no… Continue reading Lebanese oven-roasted salmon fillet
Blueberry and raspberry buckle
We had a surplus of berries, so we tried this Melissa Gilbert recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017644-summer-berry-buckle. For the 4 ½ cup mixed berries, we used two 6-oz containers of each blueberries and raspberries (for a total of 24 oz). That was more than enough compared to the batter. We also did not have a 9 oz cake… Continue reading Blueberry and raspberry buckle
Roasted beet salad with dill and toasted walnuts
We loosely followed this recipe: https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/beets-with-dill-walnuts. Our modifications: first, instead of pressure-cooking 6 medium-large beets, we oven-roasted them for 40-45 mins (instructions here: https://piglettedc.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/roasted-beets-this-is-one-of-my-favorite/). After letting them cool (inside their foil packets), we rubbed off their skin with paper towels. We cut each beet into large chunks by slicing in half vertically, then cutting each… Continue reading Roasted beet salad with dill and toasted walnuts
Baked salami
We made thin (½ inch) crosswise cuts into 12 oz Hebrew National beef salami, leaving the salami slices still connected. We wrapped the salami in foil, sealing the foil’s seams (like an empanada), with the sealed side up (to avoid leaks), and placed the wrapped salami in a quarter pan. We baked the salami in… Continue reading Baked salami
