Market Report: June 17th

There's been a lot on my plate this week, so to speak, so I'll keep this report short and just show you lots of beautiful pictures. The colors are riotous and I love that.


There was a new booth at the market this week selling fresh caught, flash frozen wild coho salmon for $9 a pound. That's clearly a nice price so I decided I had to try it. Coho salmon is not my favorite. It's a little leaner and smaller than other varieties, but pan-seared with Zaatar seasoning and a chutney of rhubarb and apriums with fresh mint, the flavor was really nice and the flesh firm. Apriums were new this week as well - a cross between apricots and plums. They were good, but not as good as an apricot or a plum, so I probably would have left nature alone on that one.

We've been trying to eat on the leaner side to recover from last weeks festivities, so along with the salmon a simple salad of Alm Hill's spicy greens, roasted yellow beets, radishes and sugar snap peas was perfect. I topped with some crisped prosciutto and a couple ounces of goat cheese.




I drizzled on the most incredible olive oil, which was given to me as a hostess gift recently. Trampetti is so excellent for those fresh uncooked dishes where you are really looking for the olive oil to enhance the dish. It's the perfect finishing drizzle. You can find it at Whole Foods if you're interested.
