A couple weeks ago, Sam and I bought some fresh King salmon and made a tasty dinner. The fillet of salmon we bought was rather large, so what we didn’t use we popped in the freezer for another dinner. This morning Sam and I pulled out left over salmon and de-thawed it for tonight’s dinner. We did our weekly grocery shopping and planned out enough protein for the week. We bought a bunch of yummy seafood like shrimp, tuna, and swordfish, but then our good friend Ryan Balzer [Balzer for short] texted Sam and said Lobster was on sale at Price Chopper! We told him to come on over and bring some lobster! What’s a little more seafood? Couldn’t hurt I guess…
For dinner we enjoyed a delicious raw salmon salad with fresh lettuce from our garden, and a homemade salad dressing that I prepared.
Sweet & sour dressing:
ginger
olive oil
lemon juice
sugar
honey
fresh parsley
sesame seeds
salt and pepper
dijon mustard
Directions: Eyeball ingredients. Put in food processor and serve.
For our main course we dinned on Balzer’s lobster and some ginger sesame rice. Later we took the left-over lobster shells and prepared a lobster bisque. We looked up some recipes online, but we ended up throwing a bunch of good stuff in the pot and going with the flow. Onions, parsley, dill, bay leaves, butter, cream, salt & pepper, lobster shells, and fresh nutmeg from Carriacou
I’d let you know how it turned out, but it almost 12:30 am, and the lobster is still cooking. Our apartment smells like a creamy delicious lobster bisque!
