curry-saffron salmon

You're welcome for this recipe. Let's just put it out there. This is a super hit for entertaining and can be easily multiplied depending on how big your dinner party gets! The salmon can be baked or grilled, however you usually prep your salmon...then just added to the tasty sauce over some rice to absorb some of the curry-saffron sauce with mushrooms and onions. Tasty tasty tasty. Again, you're welcome.

2 (6 oz) filets of fresh wild-caught salmon
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion
4 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon saffron

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon sliced green onion

Directions:

1. Season each filet with salt & pepper. Grill, bake, or prep for searing.

2. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Stir in diced onions and cook until translucent (6 minutes). Add chopped garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).

3. Combine chopped mushrooms, fennel, and celery with the onions & garlic. Cook until vegetables have softened (6 minutes).

4. Season with curry powder, saffron, and salt & pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

simple weekend recap: edition 4

It appears as though this past weekend was filled with a bunch of seafood. Salmon, lobster, and swordfish! The salmon in a saffron curry sauce is one of my favorite dinners to make. Don't worry, I'll share the recipe later this week!

 

The weather this weekend was perfect, and Erin was able to take full advantage of the sun during a nice long hike through the park.

 

 

 

After some tasty deviled eggs, lobster was definitely due (the first of the season for us...we're so behind the times)!! To wrap up the seafood weekend, we had some of the sweetest corn from the farm down the street.

 

 

 

 

After a long weekend of seafood, some garlic chipotle pasta was much needed (quick&simple recipe later this week, too!)

 

My weekend was filled with good food & the great outdoors...pretty ideal for me!
