Tonight is an unusual night because the house is a quiet and my husband is out with business folks for dinner. I would not care to have it this quiet every night, but sometimes it feels wonderful and almost therapeutic. I stopped at my local fish market on the way back from the office and picked up a little piece of king salmon.
I'm making a {mini} Mediterranean Salmon Bake So easy and so good! All you need is..

I'm making just a small piece (it's just me).
Chop up some gourmet olives, add some mayo, white pepper, plash of Worcestershire sauce, capers, and a squeeze of lemon. This doesn't need to be exact, just eye it.
Bake it at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I usually take my salmon out a few minutes early and let it finish cooking in parchment paper.
Mmmm! Just dig in.. Delicious served with a salad, fresh bread, and beverage of your choice. So many great recipes here in my Junior League of Seattle cookbook!

So happy everyone is back and wouldn't trade my happy chaos for anything!
How do you like to spend your {few and far between} moments of down time?

I am so laughing...I have that cookbook! My best friend lives in Seattle and she sent me a copy. I'll have to try your salmon this weekend. I relax by going to sleep I only have two buttons, stop and go, sleep and busy!

Those junior league cookbooks are the best! My hubby runs a gourmet cookshop here on the Cape, and jr. league cookbooks are among our bestsellers in that dept. Your recipe sounds and looks delicious! Glad you had a few moments to yourself, but I totally agree with you in that I thrive on the hubbub of everyone in the family being at home. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited because I have a large piece of salmon in the fridge and was contemplating how to cook it tonight. Problem solved! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks simply lovely and yummy! I love the cookbooks by most Junior Leagues. Have used recipes for years!
ReplyDeleteI love a quiet house but my kids both come home on Friday from college. Can't wait. It will surely be chaos!
that recipe looks so yummy
ReplyDeletei use the JR league cookbook where i grew up all the time
small town and know everyone published (code for i know who the good cooks are)
when alone i like to crank up the music, grab a good book and a cup of hot tea.

Looks delicious! I love spending my downtime with a good book and a glass of wine :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing you would treat yourself to a quiet night alone. Sometimes just what the soul needs!
ReplyDeleteWOW this sounds amazing, Leslie!!! I love salmon. We usually have it once a week and I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. I just saved your recipe so I can make it on Thursday. Thanks for sharing it! :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteYum! I know what you mean, I love those quiet times to appreciate the bussle. I usually just do boiled eggs but am loving the simplicity of this recipe, love anything with W sauce!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, it sounds wonderful!! I like to kick back with a book and some light music or a movie and something yummy!! Do have a wonderful time! xx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds and looks so good! A little quiet time is good for the soul and a lot of quiet time makes me crazy! :-) My husband travels from time to time and usually the first night is good. I make something he doesn't like to eat and take a long bath and watch Bravo. :-) But the second night I'm anxious for him to come home and fill the house with happy noise. I mean, our three dogs add a lot of excitement but it's just not the same with him. :-)

Oh my goodness..... my mouth is literally watering. I can't wait to try this out!
ReplyDeleteOooh! that looks so yummy. I don't have children so down time for me is usually a good book or cooking up a storm or eating out with Hubs ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! Yes, the book was worth it although the racy parts get old quickly. I'm intrigued enough to go pick up the second one. It's definitely not my normal read, but I would check it out.
ReplyDeletei am starved, and i think i could eat your simple salmon dish every night!
ReplyDeletewhen i am left to my own devices, i surf the net, watch bravo, and get very very lazy. shhhhhhhh!
smiles to you.

That sounds wonderful. A great meal and some me time.
ReplyDeleteI am defo going to try this- sounds lovely. When my boys are out I like to flop on the couch and watch a chick flick in peace!! - they really don't like girly films!!
ReplyDeleteSharon
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have some alone time, isn't it? My kids are grown, but I still see them often, and there's nothing like family all around. I'm not much of a fish person, but anything from the Mediterranean I love, as I am part Greek. This dish look good.

The salmon looks delicious. I have to make it this way. I love olives so I think I would love your recipe. Don't you love those brief moments of quiet. Sometimes, (my husband jokes) I just sit and stare into space. Mostly because I never know what to do because I so rarely have time to be alone. And yes...we always welcome back the loving chaos!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, Leslie...I love salmon and so good for you too ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.

Dearest Leslie,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and I see you too shop at Whole Foods!
Well, if I have some down time on my own it is spent reading some recipe books and drifting all away... On the balcony I love to cuddle up on my teak bed with something to read.
Love to you,
Mariette
I cherish moments when I'm by myself, these moments are so precious! But sadly, I even make my alone time, work time, that's the endlessly productive in me! :)
DeleteI adore this cookbook, but haven't tried this recipe. It looks wonderful, so thank you for sharing! I can't remember if it's this one or their other book that has my favorite saffron rice recipe.... it is amazing! Off to pull this book off the shelf:)
ReplyDeletejoan
I like to spend them really quite. This is what I need after the chaos and the strong demands from my work.
