This is part 2 of this week’s seafood series. The relish was surprisingly good that I made it again to accompany another dish. Salmon is a fish we have for dinner a few times a month, it is truly one of my favorites. This was adapted from Fresh Fish, by Jennifer Trainer Thompson.
Traditional Fish Pie
I made this dish a couple of times because the first time the mashed potatoes didn’t brown on the top, and since you should never over cook fish I was afraid to leave it in the oven any longer. So the second time I made it I just put it under the broiler and it came out perfect. This recipe was adapted from The … Read More Traditional Fish Pie

Swordfish Shish Kebabs
This recipe was so easy and delicious that I made this twice for dinner in the past few weeks. Do follow the directions and cut out the red part of the fish, it’s a bit tougher than the rest.

Spice-Crusted Salmon with Orange-Honey Glaze

Fish Quenelles in White Wine Sauce
I found this recipe on the internet but it stated that it came from Julia Child. It was slightly different so I incorporated both.

Here’s what you need; Pate a choux (see recipe) white … Read More Fish Quenelles in White Wine Sauce

Here it is. … Read More Chez Toutoune’s Mussels with Cream Sauce
