Recipe for the salmon hater

I know a lot of people out there are not so keen on salmon, and i happen to be one of them. I love raw salmon to death, but when my parents cook up grilled salmon i want to cry. I don't know what it is, but i just don't really like it. So i decided tonight, once told salmon was on the menu, that i might come up with something a little more tasty. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

3 salmon pieces, deboned and chopped into bits

2 bunches of asparagus, remove the woody end and chop the spear into 3

1 onion diced

3-4 garlic cloves

1 chicken stock cube

1 cup of cream

Bunch of parsley

Half a lemon or lime

Capers (if you like them)

Spaghetti

Boil spaghetti until aldente. Place the onions and garlic in a pan to sweat, once they have released some juice and become transparent crumble the stock cube and stir in. Then add the asparagus, salmon, lemon or lime juice and a hand full of capers. Once the salmon pieces are cooked through you can add the parsley, about 1/2 a cup. Before serving add the cream and stir through. Serve on top of spaghetti with a lime quarter for those who like it extra tart (like me!) and voila you have a really tasty dinner that helps you avoid boring grilled salmon. 

I'm thinking i may start blogging about the monthly dinners i go on with Ellen. It's always interesting to compare each restaurant to the one before it. Some places are just incredible, amazing main, sumptuous dessert, and delicious cocktail. Where as others are a tad disappointing, no balance to the food, portions to big/small, service not ideal, chefs attempting to be too bold and new age. All in all, i love dinning out, and Ellen and i always like to discuss what we thought of the food in detail, so why not write about it. Hehe.
