Day 6

I have been out of town for the last few days, so cooking was out of the question. We had Italian, Pizza, Persian, fresh sea food, and breakfast diner. We did not enjoy much of what we have eaten for the last 5 days, so last night I planned on cooking again.

I made Grilled Salmon with blueberry-Cabernet coulis.

Basically it is salmon grilled with salt and pepper, then you make it swim in a blueberry, Cabernet and ginger sauce. I paired that with rice and a fresh green salad.

I do not know if anyone has ever thought to pair something sweet with salmon, it was different to put it lightly. I had my In-Laws over for dinner, the funny thing was they all loved it. They even took home the left overs. My family on the other hand were not gentle on their critique of the dish. Benjamin who has given each of my dishes 9-10, gave this a 5. Jasmine took two bites and asked to just finish her rice and not eat any more fish. Rougeh my loving husband told me that the salmon is great just without the sauce, but since the salmon was already swimming in it, not much I could do for him there. He still finished his plate though.

I went to the market yesterday and bought one package of each of the fish that they had to offer. I think today will be Maui Maui.

I just need to find a recipe for it. I am veering from my original quest. The cookbook that I have does not have any recipes that I think look good. The only hope was the one I made yesterday, and that one will not be repeated.
