Ceasar's Salad with Grilled Salmon


Using the old secret family recipe, I decided to go with a Caesar's Salad tonight. A mixture of Anchovies, Worchestershire Sauce, Tabasco, Lemon Juice, Dry Mustard, Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese and a Coddled Egg Yolk and of course a good Olive Oil makes the Dressing for this, my favorite Salad. To make it a Main Course, I used a Salmon Fillet that I had marinated in a similar Dressing, basically Lemon Juice Olive Oil and some Spices and Grilled it to a beautiful crispy outside, tender inside.

Crabmeat Stuffed Flounder


Had a taste for some seafood (as I usually do!), so I swung by the the market to see what was good. They had a special on Crab meat so I picked up a tub and continued looking at the array of fish. I very rarely use Flounder, but he had some fresh ones he was just unpacking. Picked 2 nice guys and had him fillet them for me. At home I sauteed some Onions, Red Pepper, Celery. Once they were soft, I took the pan off to cool and made a dressing of an Egg, touch of Mayonnaise, splash of each; Hot Sauce and Worchestershire Sauce and a few spices, and added the veggies to it. Seemed a little loose so I added some Panko to tighten it up, then folded the crab meat in. next, I flattened the fillets and added about 1/2 cup of the filling and rolled them into Roulades and placed them into a buttered baking dish, then into a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. While they were cooking I trimmed some String Beans to make and Almondine to serve my fish over. Healthy and Delicious once again!!
