Food

Just had lunch, but what a lunch. We went shopping yesterday and the salmon in the seafood case just whispered some sweet nothing in my ear.

Salmon a la Marcus:
1 small onion, lightly chopped
2 tbsp butter
6-7 mushrooms, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & pepper
ground cumin
red (cayenne) pepper

Saute over med-high heat in large pan until onions are transluscent.

1 salmon fillet
Put in butter, between sauteed ingredients, skin-side down. Immediately add:

6 green olives, chopped
6 black olives, chopped
1 small tomato, chopped and seeded
2 cloves garlic, rougly chopped

Throw over and around salmon. Reduce heat to low/medium-low. Cover with lid. Cook until salmon is just about cooked all the way through (I like my salmon a little medium). Don't peek too often, or steam won't cook the top of the salmon!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
