Roasted Salmon with Fennel and Grapes
I love salmon any way I can get. Raw, smoked, roasted, poached, grilled, pan fried, or in a burger, salmon is divine. What I really appreciate about this fish or any fish for that matter, is that the more simply you prepare it, the better it tastes. This recipe rocks in a very versatile way. [...]
Seared Tuna with Ramp Butter
Happy Ramp Season! For those who are not familiar with ramps, they are wild spring onions that have a mildly sweet garlic flavor. Both the bulb and the leafy green ends are edible.
