memoirs of a palate

LATE NIGHT SNACK




So I'm not saying that D's wonderful sausage roll wasn't enough ... but we did drink a couple brews and we had a few hunger pangs when we got back from Brooklyn. And because I wanted to use up the remaining two salmon fillets from the fridge, I thought I'd whip together a quick dish with some of those cherries from Chinatown.

About forty-five minutes after we got home, we dug into a couple salmon fillets with a balsamic/cherry reduction. It included:
- salmon
- cherries
- garlic
- green onions
- balsamic vinegar
- sesame seeds
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper

Now, I know what you're thinking ... not much different from the Saturday night special. Well ... you're wrong. Because Meena really liked this one. It was just sweet enough without being over the top. And there was just enough reduced vinegar bite to make sure it was bursting with flavor. I don't normally toot my own horn, but toot, toot. This thing was fantastic and it'll definitely make another trip to the dinner table in the near future.
