Lomi Lomi Salmon

Lucky me!  Visitors from Hawaii means lau lau’s for me from Young’s Fish Market (my absolute, hands down favorite!) and if I’m really lucky I get a bag of poi too!  So the only thing that’s missing is the Lomi Lomi Salmon and maybe… some Chicken Long Rice.

Baked Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

Salmon is always a good choice in my house.  We eat it fried, grilled, steamed, poached, smoked, sashimi-ed, lomi-lomi and baked.  The choices are endless. Salmon is an extremely versatile fish that always cooks up moist and has a mild flavor that blends well with all types of recipes.

Smoked Salmon Spread

My youngest daughter loves bagels with cream cheese and lox for breakfast.  The problem is that mornings can be rushed and the idea of taking out several items, then putting them away, to make this wonderful concoction can sway her from making this on her way out the door and skipping breakfast all together.

That’s when we came up with the idea of mixing everything together to make an already rushed breakfast, faster and it has.  Now all she has to do is pull out one container from the fridge and smear her bagel with all her favorite bagel toppings as she runs out the door.  The addition of the sour cream made the mix very spreadable.

Kono's Salmon Picatta

Kono makes a wonderfully easy picatta sauce that he uses to cook with chicken or fish.  I have never bothered to make it myself because it is one of Kono’s specialties and he does it perfectly. 

Poached Salmon Chinese Style

Living in the North West has taught me to cook and eat a lot of fresh salmon. The best part about salmon is that it is such a versatile fish that can be dressed up in more ways than you can count. Salmon is a light and flaky fish with a high fat content that helps to retain its moistness and is incredibly forgiving to the cook.

Oven Broiled Salmon

I hadn’t planned it this way, but it has been all about fish this week. I stopped at Costco and found a small (2 lb.) side of salmon that looked great. This was a true find, because most of the time they are 3 - 4 pounds each, which is way too much for my family. So, I had to get it, even though we just had fish a couple of nights ago.
