Unfortunately, their Web site is only open to subscribers.

I’ve been working on variations of a slow roasted salmon that I cribbed from The Improvisational Cook (cook in oven slowly on low heat), which seems to lend itself to light seasonings to bring out the natural flavor of the fish. I picked up a French cookbook awhile back that has a recipe for a light, chunky tomato sauce that goes really well with the salmon if you use traditional French seasons (chervil and whatnot), but my tried and true is soy sauce, sesame oil with some toasted sesame seeds. My husband is a fan of the mustard cream sauce, which he makes up each time so I have no idea how to recreate it. ;)

We recently went for a weekend down in Paris, where I’m always impressed with how tasty and simple French food is. I had really nice, lightly seasoned salmon that was always featured with an amazing vegetable side. What the French can do with veggies! So, I’ve been working on that lately.

That stinks in so many ways. I haven’t seen a problem getting tuna here in the US yet, but I am sure we will soon be facing similar issues with the stocks if there is a shortage.

I’ll be playing with a bit of salmon tonight. I am not sure what to do with it yet though. Any thoughts?

Sometimes we go Mexican, other times more Mediteranean, and even Asiany like you suggest. Lately I’ve been exploring flavored oils and vinegars, from reading The Improvisational Cook and am keen to experiment with different flavors.

Unfortunately, I recently read that tuna stocks have crashed. In fact, our local grocery store here in Holland hasn’t carried tuna in well over a month. We pulled tuna off the menu in the hopes that our little contribution well help to ultimately bring the fish back.

So, we play with good ole salmon and tilapia, but it’s not the same.
