My recipes are as follows:
My salmon marinade is awesome.. Once many years ago I was testing different variations, including herb rubs and the like and I found this was the most tasy. It is as follows:
Salmon Marinade:
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup olive oil
I eyeball all measurements, but I combine them, emulsify the dijon with the soy sauce and olive oil and marinade it in the salmon and pour a bit over the fish just as its done cooking. Tastes great!
Black Bean Mango Salsa
(great for all fish esp mahi mahi, we just spoon it over the grilled fish)
1 can black beans
1 cup diced firm ripe mango
1 roma tomato cored and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup each diced red and orange pepper
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 Tbsp minced fresh jalapeno chili
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic peeled and minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Just combine all these ingredients together, serve immediately or cover and chill
Wasabi Mayonnaise:
1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup shittake sesame dressing (or any asian dressing)
2 Tbsp wasabi
this is all to taste, we just grill fish and dollop this on the side of it and eat it together. its amazing....
My mom and I also made the Barefoot
Contessa Crostata with peach and blueberry filling.
Ingredients
For the pastry (makes 2 crostatas)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) ice water
For the filling (makes 1 crostata):
1 pound firm ripe peaches, peeled
1/2 pound firm ripe black plums, unpeeled
1/2 pint fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
For the pastry:
Directions
Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss quickly (and carefully!) with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board, roll it into a ball, cut in half, and form into 2 flat disks. Wrap the disks in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If you only need 1 disk of dough The other disk of dough can be frozen.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the baking sheet.
For the filling:
Cut the peaches and plums in wedges and place them in a bowl with the blueberries. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the orange zest, and the orange juice. Place the mixed fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
Combine the 1/4 cup flour, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts to hold together. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Gently fold the border of the pastry over the fruit, pleating it to make an edge.
Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is tender. Let the crostata cool for 5 minutes, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
