Cooking Method: Poaching

Buttermilk-Poached Salmon

I have a big pet peeve. Years ago, you used to be able to buy a pint of buttermilk. What happened?! Now, you can only buy a quart of buttermilk! It drives me crazy. I then have to figure out how to use up the extra milk. So, we made this Buttermilk-Poached Salmon, which is simply superb. The beauty of this recipe is that you can refrigerate the leftover salmon (if there is any!) and then use it in a salad or some other way.

Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches with Smoked Almonds

I catered a trunk show at a wonderful clothing store in San Marino, CA called Serafina. If you live in the area, you must stop by, their things are exquisite. I made tea sandwiches. These Chicken Salad sandwiches were a big hit.
