Very well written. I have no idea about the cooking. Here in Arkansas we fry our fish. Some transplants might bake, but they know not to invite us over.
Your dish sounds delish anyway.
Best wishes.

This is another recipe I can make and won't mess up with too many carbs. Thank you for sharing.

Tips for getting crispy skin on the fish:

Be sure to pat the fillets dry before seasoning. This will ensure crispy skin and the sought-after golden sear on the flesh side. (Thank you for this tip. I'll try it.)

Hermon's Hermits (I grew up listening to them.)

my wife and I used to play "Food Channel" games and each of us would make an appetizer, entree, or desert. When my daughter visited me, she watched that channel often and got me interested again. Too bad I have no oven! Pistachios were in the mix a lot yesterday.

Every cookbook on the face of the earth should be written like this... What an incredible adventure drawing in the ones who claim not to like salmon but have fallen deeply in love with those twelve paws and wagging tails or the offer of a fabulous cocktail while listening and jamming to awesome music. When we reach the salmon preparation, our spirits are floating so high that we just breathe all the aroma in and learn how to prepare a salmon or two.
I just loved it!
Smiles, Carol

John,
Our mutual friend enjoyed this, I'm sure, from Chef John and friend extraordinaire! Comfort food Italiano! I'm eating Salmon tonight so I will get Jack to try this. Thanks so much for spreading the comfort around and for dedicating this to making our friend smile! How could it not? Mission Accomplished!
Sending you all my best across the miles.
Sal :)) xo

Oh wow, John! I think I've just died and gone to Heaven! This has to be my all-time favourite of all your dishes and I'm virtually savouring every mouthful. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe, accompanied by that age-old, groovy, baby, Herman's Hermits record which really takes me back. You're definitely the king of the kitchen and I have a smile from ear to ear, only dampened slightly by the fact I have nothing more to give for this fine dining experience...except for one thing:) Bless your cotton socks, John. No wonder those puppies adore you! Cheers Debbie

This sounds absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing this and showing us how you can juggle dog-walking, dancing, singing, and cooking a healthy meal all at the same time!

Ah, sounds perfect! This is exactly the sort of meal I love, and it is not a hard one to make, but always fresh, healthy and delicious. Here we would use fresh broccoli or broccolini, even better. I enjoy your engaging tales of your cooking and of course your beautiful dogs.

I should not be reading this at 10 pm at night. I am hungry again. You are a cook, you know stuff, what is broccolini? Is it a hybrid, or young broccoli perhaps? I love salmon. Thank you. Karen
