I have a half dozen favorite salmon recipes but I think my favorite two are one done with caramelized onions and the other is a butter, garlic, lemon and capers one. But I understand there are some tastes we just don't like. For me it is eggplant and artichokes and I bet you love them!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-59439926538544011582022-07-06T13:18:56.005-07:002022-07-06T13:18:56.005-07:00I'm trying to imagine the delicious aroma (and...I'm trying to imagine the delicious aroma (and taste!) of your rum soaked smoked salmon, Dewena! Reading your recipe and looking at your photos, I am THIS close to giving salmon another try, since I have never been keen on it! I did have a very tasty salmon marinated in maple syrup and various spices, when I was in Toronto, last Christmas, perfectly prepared and baked by my aunt Vivian, and that was the first time in 34 years that I actually gave it a another shot!<br /><br />Your Italian plates are very pretty and practical, especially for fish and seafood, with those scalloped edges. Do tell us if you ever solve the mystery re: more details about their roots!<br /><br />In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the summer and everything it has to offer!<br /><br />Poppy xxPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-33947579977531708972022-07-06T11:45:45.362-07:002022-07-06T11:45:45.362-07:00Ha!

I'll do that next time I go. They probably have the app that identifies them if others have been listed or sold.

But I will eat canned tuna and salmon if it's made into a tuna salad or salmon patties. That is so interesting to soak the salmon in rum! <br /><br />I love your Italian plates. I've never seen a shape like that. Maybe it's not a sea creature shape? I don't know what you could Google though. It's not scalloped edges. Hmm. Is there an antique shop that you go to that you could take one in, where they could perhaps identify it?<br /><br />Have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-92137407887501125032022-06-30T09:49:42.127-07:002022-06-30T09:49:42.127-07:00Thank you, Lorrie!

And he'll be fine with that! So glad your blog woes are fixed. Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
