I don't remember where the salmon rec came from originally, probably BA or Gourmet- it is very good.

LACQUERED SALMON WITH A CARMELIZED BALSAMIC SAUCE

1/3 cup sugar on a plate

4 salmon filets

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

for sauce: 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce, cooked in saucepan until volume is reduced to 1/3 cup.

Dip salmon filets in sugar (one side only) and fry sugar side down in very hot pan until carmelized. Turn over in pan, turn down heat and add chicken broth and soy sauce. Cover and let finish cooking- about 5 minutes. Put salmon on plate and drizzle with sauce.

BROILED ZUCCHINI (serves 2)

My dear old friend Mary May Tekse gave me 6 zucchini recipes the day she saw me plant 40 zucchini seeds in my new garden. She said "here, you'll need these." Since it was my first try at zucchini, I didn't know why she was chuckling as she walked away! She was right. I needed lots of recipes for the harvest was bountiful. This is still a favorite after 35 years.

1 large zucchini cut in 1/2" slices

1 medium onion, sliced thinly

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 T butter

1 large tomato, sliced thinly

1/2 C sour cream

1/2 C parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the zucchini, garlic and onion in butter until brown but not soft. Place in buttered baking dish. Top with tomato slices and dot with sour cream. Add salt and pepper and sprinkle with parmesan.

Broil until brown and beginning to bubble; about 10 minutes.

 
forgot to mention- I mixed up a lot of flavors- also served salad w/papaya seed dressing and

glazed carrots. It was a nice combo of flavors. I used New Zealand Sockeye salmon. Delicious.

 
Speaking of salmon, I bought some Norwegian farmed salmon at Sam's last week. It was

soooo good! I used to buy it, several years ago, when it was much more expensive and we always loved it. Then the farmed salmon came along at such low prices and is all I see here, except for the occasional wild salmon in season. I never cared as much for the farmed that is available now and have had some problems with the wild not being as fresh as it should be (I'm a long way from the source,lol), so seldom bought salmon. Sam's had the Norwegian for only a dollar or so a pound more than their other farmed salmon and I like it so much better than any other salmon I've had. Just wondered if anyone else has tried it and noticed a difference...or not.
