Getting Fancy

     Just stopping by to present the recipe I'm experimenting with tonight.
http://lipstickblogspot.blogspot.com/2010/06/roasted-salmon-with-pea-puree-in-light.html
     I am trying that and it sounds amazing.  Being me, however, I can't actually follow the exact recipe.  So, here are my changes:

• Side of peas instead of puree.  Don't want to dirty food processor.
• We do not have shallots.  We do, however, have part of a red onion that needs used.  Not the same, but it will work tonight.
• No mint involved.  Fresh mint will not be present in this household until after I move and can get my baby herbs started.
• No chicken broth involved.  I realize that broth would add flavor but I only have enough salmon for one serving each for my bf and I.  So, I don't want to open up chicken broth just for small amounts.
• No nutmeg in the rub.  Didn't have it.  Subbed cinnamon (I know it's not the same!)
• Didn't measure anything in the rub.  Just dumped.  I do that.
• That might be it for changes...

     I've already made the rub.  Dumping resulted in a little over half a cup which is more than we need for this recipe obviously.  However, I tried a pinch or two of it and I bet you one million dollars it would taste great on shrimp, chicken, pork, in burgers, etc.  The possibilities are endless.
     Also serving this with side of baby carrots with Beaumonde dip because the carrots keep freezing in the fridge so we need to get them eaten.  My bf always has a bowl of this made because he absolutely adores it and being home all day, I'm pretty much addicted.  Bf is pretty handy in the kitchen.
     Anyway, I was just pretty excited for this recipe (even though I'm not strictly following it) because it looks super tasty and super fancy.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

*Ok, so about the time my bf was leaving work and I was starting to get dinner together, I realized that all the sour cream had gone into the Boaumonde dip.  Wanting to get dinner started and not wanting to go out in the rain, I subbed sour cream with dip.  The issue is that there's mayonaise in the dip and that flavor came through, otherwise it actually tasted good.  I dolloped the sauce over the salmon fillets and that was a bit much flavor-wise.  Both of us scrapped off the sauce and just dipped bites of salmon in it and that was tasty.  The rub was fantastic.  Will try this recipe again with regular sour cream some other time.
