Remember when Salman Rushdie was in hiding in the 1990's for writing The Satanic Verses?
I read the book and actually loved it. Funny how people got so worked up about a book they probably did not even read.
On that note, I made the most delicious dinner tonight. I raved. Steve raved. Delaney inhaled it (Delaney inhales everything these days with two sports being played right now..). Ellie balked.
It was a huge hit.
I should have taken photos, but I was too busy shoveling it into my mouth.
Here's the recipe I altered and made my own...enjoy!
Salmon Florentine (A la Tanya )
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small minced onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic

- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz each), rinsed and patted dry (salted and peppered)
Heat oven to 350°. de. Heat
oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring,
until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more. Add
spinach, tomatoes, salt, pepper flakes and pepper; cook, stirring, 2
minutes more. Remove from heat; let cool about 15 minutes. Add ricotta;
stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pack spinach
