Israeli Couscous Salmon Salad

Last night we were invited to the Hollywood Bowl to see Peter and the Wolf with Viola Davis and Dudamel (it was fabulous!). I made Israeli Couscous Salmon Salad for dinner, which is a great make-ahead meal for any outdoor occasion. It has a tangy lemon dill dressing and I threw in some blanched asparagus. I also made Simple Summer Peach Cake, which I made last week, but this time I made individual tarts. I love going to the Hollywood Bowl. It's my favorite summer concert venue.

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.

Salmon with Cabbage and Olive Vinaigrette

This Salmon with Cabbage and Olive Vinaigrette is simple to make. The salmon is roasted in the oven, served over sautéed cabbage, and top with this chunky vinaigrette. The vinaigrette uses sweet golden raisins, which works well with the saltiness of the olives.

Crispy Korma Salmon with Coconut Rice and Cucumber Pickle

My husband has been binge-watching Jamie Oliver cooking videos on YouTube. We have been fans of him for years. We used to live a few blocks away from him in London when he first got married. We decided to try this Crispy Korma Salmon with Coconut Rice and Cucumber Pickle, which is very easy to make and packed with flavor. I could not find Patak’s Korma Spice Paste, so I used curry paste instead, unfortunately for me, I could only find mild! The rice is cooked with a red chili, a half a lemon and some coconut cream, which is a new revelation. You chop up the lemon and chili and serve it on top to the rice. The quick cucumber pickle adds a bright note to this dish.

This Seared Salmon with Spicy Red Pepper Aioli is from Ina Garten's new cookbook Modern Comfort Food. It is absolutely delicious. The salmon is crusty on the outside, moist on the inside and the red pepper aioli adds a subtle spicy note.

Lemonade Salmon

This Lemonade Salmon is fabulous. It's vibrantly flavorful, tangy and easy to prepare. I even used some of the marinade (not the salmon-soaked marinade!) and steamed some broccoli in it. My husband loved it and I will be making this again.
