Olive Oil-Poached Salmon with Chai-Chili Pickled Cherry Salsa for #TripleSBites

By

Inspired by products from three of our #TripleSBites sponsors -  Intensity Academy, NOT Ketchup, and Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices - I decided to make a cherry-kissed dish. Cherries are purported aphrodisiacas; they are said to stimulate pheromone production. Additionally, they provide potassium which is required for sexual hormone production. And there are abundant antioxidants in cherries that help keep your skin youthful and your energy level high.

Olive Oil-Poached Salmon 
with Chai-Chili Pickled Cherry Salsa

Ingredients makes 4 servings
  • 4 salmon filets
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • pickled cherry salsa (recipe below)

Chai-Chili Pickled Cherry Salsa


 Procedure
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Lay your fish in an oven-proof baking dish. Fill pan with enough olive oil to mostly cover the filets. Drizzle the fish with balsamic. Cover with foil. Place in the oven for 25 minutes. Check for doneness. If the fish needs more time, return the dish to the oven. The fish is cooked when it is firm to the touch.

 While the fish is in the oven, make the salsa. Mix everything together in a mixing bowl. Let the flavor meld for, at least, 10 minutes.

 To serve, place the fish on top of grains - I used lentils in this case - and top with salsa.

Thanks, Intensity Academy, NOT Ketchup, and Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices* - just three of the #TripleSBites sponsors - for ingredients used in this recipe.


*Full Disclosure: I received a bottle of Chai Sweet Chili Sauce from Intensity Academy and an assortment of lightly dried herbs from Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices for participating in #TripleSBites. While NOT Ketchup is an event sponsor, I purchased this bottle of product separately. Feel free to use whatever sweet-hot sauce, ketchup, and herbs you have on-hand. I received no additional compensation for this post; all comments are 100% accurate and 100% my own.

Here's what everyone else brought to the table today...



We had some very generous event sponsors for this event.
THANK YOU!

    Salmon is all the rage this week! Even though I don't normally like salmon, recipes like this one have me actually wanting to cook it more often.

    That looks WONDERFUL! I love the oil-poaching method - so smart; I will definitely have to give that a try someday. This looks so flavorful!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
