Thyme capers or chilli will ruin the unique fresh salmon aroma.
Julienne of sicilian lemon and possibly butter cracked green pepper all you need if the fish is good

[DrWilly]

If the fish is good.

otherwise he’ll want to hide it with a medley of tomato, peppers, and capers… ooh I see.

[S Landreth]

Next up, an appetizer. Either smoked salmon with dill and capers or smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers.

[DrWilly]

Yeah, a new cut and paste megathread in the making…

[baldrick]

I do not like the taste of salmon

Scottish solution try Sturgeon

Free tip no caper with really fresh fish

[bsnub]

I do not like the taste of salmon

That is most likely because you have never eaten real wild salmon. Real local caught wild salmon before cooking...

[S Landreth]

^good start

Next up, an appetizer. Either smoked salmon with dill and capers or smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers.

Ingredients

French bread baguette
Extra virgin olive oil
Cream cheese
Fresh dill weed
Capers
Smoked salmon

MAKING THE SMOKED SALMON APPETIZER

The baguette that I used was an Italian 5-grain bread that Publix makes. First, you slice this pretty thin and toast it.

Do it like you are in Italy, put olive oil on the bread and toast it in a skillet and you have got a crostini. Simple. Next comes the cream cheese.

I’ve seen similar smoked salmon appetizers where they mix up different ingredients in the cream cheese spread, but I keep it real simple. Just spread some plain old softened cream cheese on the crostini.

Believe me, there are enough flavors running through these couple of mouthfuls to keep your taste buds entertained. You really don’t need anymore.

After that, lay on a sprig of fresh dill and place a few capers on the cheese. Fold up a slice of smoked salmon and push it into the cheese.

Add a few more capers here and there…take pictures!…then eat. They are perfect to serve at room temperature.

Have you got a tuna mayo recipe?

[S Landreth]

An easy meal. Mix oil, shrimp, scallops, onion, garlic in a hot frying pan for a few minutes and then add in the boiled pasta.

I will make this at least once every couple of months........

Towards the end of the week, a little more in the mix.

[cyrille]

Nice flowers.

[Troy]

^^ Add half a chilli, chopped, to the garlic, half a dozen cherry tomatoes, halved, and a good handful of chopped parsley. Stir in a good splash of white wine and you have yourself a vongole-style sauce to liven that up a bit.

[S Landreth]

^Thank you. I’ll try it. But I will substitute the chopped half a chili with chili powder.

Easy Fish Tacos - I used tortillas.

Ingredients Needed for Fish Tacos

• Fish: Common choices for fish include white fish such as tilapia, cod, halibut or haddock. These fish have a mild flavor. Cod is a favorite option because it’s a bit firmer and holds together well when cooked.
• Spices: A homemade spice rub can be made using ingredients such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. This combination gives a great flavor to the fish. Alternatively, a store-bought seasoning can also be used.
• Tortillas: Traditionally, corn tortillas are used for their flavor and texture, but flour tortillas can also be used. Both are easy to find at most supermarkets. Remember to heat them gently before using so they’re nice and soft and easy to roll.
• Toppings: Toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or shredded cheese can be added to add variety.

Cajun Shrimp Pasta

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 8 ounces penne pasta
• 1 pound raw shrimp deveined, cleaned, tail removed
• 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning *see note below, use this quantity if making my homemade seasoning blend; may turn out too salty if using store bought
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese finely grated from a block (a microplane works best); pre-grated or not real authentic parmesan won't melt as nicely

How to

1. This recipe starts by boiling the pasta in salted water. It’s important to use a full tablespoon of salt in your pasta water because the salt will flavor the pasta. Before you drain the pasta, be sure to reserve some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce later, if needed.
2. While the pasta is cooking, saute the shrimp. They will cook quickly over relatively high heat. You’ll remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside and then use that same pan to make the sauce.
3. The cajun cream sauce is simply a mixture of heavy cream that you bring to a boil and parmesan cheese that melts in creamy smooth. There’s enough cajun seasoning ont he shrimp and in the pan to give the sauce plenty of flavor. The sauce thickens within minutes and then you simply toss everything together to serve.
