Its perhaps odd, but I really don't like salmon unless its from a can or smoked salmon/gravlax. I love all manner of fish which is why its odd that I don't like fresh salmon. However, it looks perfectly cooked (about to delicately flake) and I'm now craving lemon tagliatelle with broccoli!

I like it however it comes. Now I'm craving salmon patties even though I just had a filet! I'll be making those tomorrow then.
 
I like salmon however it comes, but it can sometimes be a bit bland, probably because it's farmed. The other thing is, of course, that it's the go to fish dish on any and every menu, which is a shame. Think, for example, of all the lovely fish around the British isles: cod, herring, hake, turbot, skate, sole, haddock, sea bass - and 9 times out of 10, it's salmon.
Same in the USA: wonderful fish to be had; grouper, mackerel,hake, swordfish, marlin, flounder, barracuda, amberjack (one of my absolute favourites!) and yet, it's salmon on the menu.

That is so correct! I loved going to Seafood City in 'Vegas where they had tables of all kinds of fish on ice. The labels were written in Thai so I would just pick one to try and have them clean it: head off, guts out, no slices. 😍
 
Yesterday and today I was the guest chef at my wife's canasta games.
When I say "guest chef", it's more like "so what are you going to make for us today?" :laugh: :laugh:
Today was bits and pieces from the fridge; leftover antipasto, Moroccan Aubergine Dip (Zaalouk) from last Sunday, and some Peperonata I found lurking at the back.
Yesterday I got to the supermarket and decided on montaditos/bruschetta/crostini.
Smoked ham, bocconcini, an olive or two, and roasted peppers.
Creamy goat's cheese, rocket and grilled aubergine with roasted garlic.
Sardines, roasted wild tomatoes, capers and homemade garlic breadcrumbs.

Speaking of fish.
We brought take out lunch from Culver’s for a family meal here in the skilled nursing facility my mom is in.
I had called ahead to the kitchen and asked them to not serve her lunch that we’d be there around noon which everyone else was in the dining room.
Worked out perfectly.
Mom and I shared a cod dinner with an add on of three pieces of shrimp.
Mom ate almost all of her share.
No photos, pretty regular beer battered cod with fries coleslaw and a roll
DH just wanted a chocolate shake.
Everyone is stuffed.
