<\/strong><\/p>\nturning dinner around<\/strong> one steak at a time<\/strong><\/p>\n pan-seared salmon circles <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taking the same old and making it new is the inspiration for this week\u2019s simple pleasure<\/i>: pan-seared<\/em> salmon circles (tournedos de saumon).<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We all know how good salmon is for our health. In America, it is probably the second most consumed fish (tuna being number one). Why? Because it is familiar, mild in taste, and widely available. However, I believe the saying goes that familiarity breeds contempt (if I have the saying correct). <\/span><\/p>\n This week\u2019s recipe takes the familiar salmon steak and turns that boredom around. This recipe is not complicated. It does not take a lot of your time. It requires no more than quality salmon, olive oil, salt and pepper, and one clove of garlic. The salmon circles can be pan-seared (as written) or grilled. The salmon circles can be served warm or at room temperature. They can be the center of your salmon burger or served with your favorite starch ( i.e., rice, potatoes) or something green for dinner or lunch. If you are observing Lent, here is your new Friday fish. The skin and bones are removed so this new presentation is child-friendly as well. Beyond nutritious and delicious, this recipe is fun.<\/span><\/p>\n So try a pair of red heels with that little black dress or wear a colorful tie with that familiar suit. You understand the analogy. Give your dinner plate a new presentation and your dinner guests a new perspective and appreciation of salmon. <\/span><\/p>\n The recipe (with instructional photos), is below. <\/span><\/p>\n Mangez bien <\/i><\/span>(eat well), <\/i>vivez bien <\/i><\/span>(live well), <\/i>et bon app\u00e9tit<\/span> <\/i>(enjoy) !<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n LM<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n pan-seared salmon circles makes 4 <\/span><\/p>\n what you need<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n how to<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" turning dinner around one steak at a time pan-seared salmon circles (tournedos de saumon) Taking the same old and making it new is the inspiration for this week\u2019s simple pleasure: pan-seared salmon circles (tournedos de saumon).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[341,18],"tags":[1248,438,1441,1249],"class_list":["post-11680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-main-courses","category-recipes","tag-easy-dinner","tag-salmon","tag-simple-pleasures","tag-tournedos-de-saumon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11680"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11710,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11680\/revisions\/11710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chefmorgan.com\/engine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
