Tonight we’re eating salmon poached in a combination of chardonay, dill, lemon, and garlic. The salmon is served on top of a dill, feta, and pear barley salad. The barley salad is tossed with a fresh lemon vinegarette. Sauteed collard greens are served as an accompaniment.
T: we weren’t going to blog tonight, but when I saw what amanda had whipped up, I insisted.
A: frankly, you did more than insist. You stopped mid-meal and busted out some photos.
T: fortunately I had not messed up my plate too badly. There was still some untouched salmon and barley salad. I had to take pictures because this combo was too exciting to let slip by.
A: why thank you, mr tyler. So I gather you enjoyed it?
T: Yeah, to put it mildly.
A: my main reservation with this meal was how strong of a flavor the collards were compared to the delicate flavors of the barley and salmon. The collards were good, but they just didn’t fit with the other two. But the other two, mmm.
T: No, the collards didin’t fit. But that’s ok, all I was paying attention to was the salmon and barley salad anyway. Mmm. The pear and the feta and the salmon complimented each other ridiculously well. mmhmmm.
A: I have to agree, it all went together wonderfully. So what’d you give it?
T: I give the meal a 9.51. I’m ignoring the collards, of course.
A: I plan to ignore them as well, I have to admit it. I give the meal a 9.12/10.
T: that’s a high score coming from you.
A: it is. I really liked this meal. It was healthy, light, and delicious.
T: yes it was. like this blog entry.
