When I was in high school, my mom worked as the education director at our synagogue. This meant there were some Friday nights she was at services with the religious school kids and I was charged with preparing our Shabbat dinner.
This was also around the time when I took an interest in cooking and remember this being the first dish I created from my own imagination. I just thought "
hey, that could work!" and work it did.
I mean, really, can you go wrong with onions softened and mixed with rich tomatoes and then simmered with fresh salmon? I know, right? It did take me some time to find the right herbs to mix in, but now, it's a solid dish.
I don't make this simple, yet rich, dish enough. Making it last week for Shabbat dinner brought back some good memories of those first cooking experiments in the kitchen. It also made high school seem eons ago....
Enjoy!
This sounds delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a great mix. I like some strong flavors to go with salmon!
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks fabulous. My mom had to move away to complete her college degree when I was in high school - so I took on cooking duties. So many misfires - but a lot of good ones too.
ReplyDeletethis sounds delicious !!
ReplyDeleteI love salmon! I need to find a good source for buying wild caught. Why can't Whole Foods be closer? I love how simple and hearty this looks. Thank you for joining me this week!
ReplyDeleteOh heavens this sounds incredible! And I bet you could substitute other fish (since I have fresh from the gulf fish available to me- maybe red snapper?). Can't wait to try this, thank you so much for your wonderful imagination and sharing it.
ReplyDeleteJotting this down for a future day in the kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteOh my family will love this Tamar!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good one for Lent as well!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love this! And now we know where your skills in the kitchen came from! :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading about how you started creating recipes. Why not mix these ingredients together? Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAnother great recipe I can do. This looks so YUM! Yesterday at The Huntsman we had the best best best blackened salmon sandwich. It was so goooooooooood!
ReplyDeleteI am soooooo glad I am getting care at The Huntsman now, sooooo glad. Thanks for the encouraging words, my friend.
