SRC April Reveal: Parsley, Sage, & Sweet

It's the first Monday of the month which means one thing: Secret Recipe Club reveal for Group A. This month I was assigned to Parsley, Sage & Sweet. Meet Lisa, a laid back chick, with no formal culinary training, who loves to bake and cook. A few fun facts: her favorite color is electric blue; she loves overcooked broccoli and half-melted ice cream; and everything she cooks and bakes is from scratch, using fresh and top quality ingredients. "It’s kind of an obsession," she writes. Mine, too.

She calls her site a ‘blournal' is because it’s not just a recipe site, it’s a place where she likes to tell stories, vent and just talk about whatever she wants, so it’s essentially an amalgam of a food blog and a journal. Perfect.


I was inspired by her Beef Wellington post and decided to do a salmon version for our Easter dinner. So happy that I tried it; it was a hit and will definitely be on our dinner rotation from now on. I will try it with beef soon.






















Pâte Brisée (chilled)
2 C chard, chiffonade
1 T crushed garlic
salmon filets
sea salt flakes
fennel pollen
1 egg, beaten

In a large flat bottom pan, quickly saute the chard and crushed garlic until just barely wilted. Roll out your Pâte Brisée to the length of your salmon, plus 2 inches on each end. On a piece of parchment paper, lay your chard to the length that you need for your salmon. Lay the salmon, skin side up, on top of the chard. Gently fold the dough over to form an envelope - first the long side, then the ends. Press the seams together gently.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Roll the salmon so that the seam side is down. Then brush the top with an egg wash. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and fennel pollen.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 35-40 minutes...until the crust is browned and crisp to the touch.


Let the Salmon en Croute cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve hot.

  6. This looks delicious, Camilla. I like how it has chard; I've made it with spinach before but chard is a great idea. Will try it that way next time.

  10. Quite a project-- I've always wanted to make something en croute, but never could figure out what. Salmon might be just the ticket, though.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
