Salmon 'n Peas

SALMON 'N PEAS

Someday soon, SALMON ‘N PEAS may well be on menus the world over. Why? The combination of mild salmon meat combined with the sweet taste of the crunchy Sugar Snaps is habit forming. Once you’ve tasted the combination you will become a most ardent advocate of this dish.

1 Portion salmon steak pan-cooked, grilled or baked in your favorite manner
1 Tablespoon margarine or butter
6 to 8 fresh or unthawed frozen Sugar Snaps, strung
1 Tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Pinch ground ginger
Lemon slices and mint or parsley garnish

While cooking the salmon steak, prepare the pea pods. In a small skillet, melt margarine or butter. Add Sugar Snap peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add sherry, brown sugar and ginger and stir thoroughly until snap peas are well covered with the sauce. Put cooked salmon steak on warm plate; spoon the contents of skillet over the fish steak. Garnish with mint or parsley, add lemon slices and serve immediately. Serves 1.

 

Gardeners' Quotes

Should you be a cottage gardener, a Victorian gardener, an herb gardener, a plain dirt gardener, a natural gardener, a container gardener, a colorist, or an enlightened combination of all sorts of specialist dogmas?  It is my contention that if you wish to succeed in the gardening life, there is only one true path to salvation-be a realistic gardener.
