Whew!
What a week.
It started with the stomach flu and ended with tearful goodbyes at SFO yesterday as my parents headed back to the homeland. I’ll miss them. And the miraculous food they bring! I’m still feeling pretty weak from the flu and have to do a mega grocery shop this afternoon, so instead of a recipe today I leave you with our farewell dinner Saturday night! Oh man, was it good.
The four of us (mom, dad, Adam and I) headed to the Farmer’s Market Saturday morning to collect all the ingredients for Adam’s famous cedar plank salmon and man, it never fails to impress. After my dad finally taught me how to turn the gas on, I’m a grilling maniac and can’t get enough of this melt-in-your-mouth fish.
On the side, we had roasted new potatoes with Parmesan and cayenne pepper (also from the market) and the saddest corn you’ve ever seen.
Seriously…make it tonight!! You won’t be sorry. Here’s a link to the recipe again for ya.
Enjoy your Monday!

Hope your parents were able to travel back to the East Coast without running into any of the delays and cancellations Irene left behind!

August 29, 2011 at 5:02 amYou can never go wrong with salmon or roasted potatoes. We generally add garlic and garden rosemary to our roasted potatoes. Always so good!

August 29, 2011 at 5:40 amI had salmon last night too – but most definitely not cedar-plank 🙂
I guess your not one of those people that prepare blog-posts in advance of being out and about! Hope your parents had a great (although quick) trip and your appetite from the flu resumes.

Sara
August 29, 2011 at 6:35 amThat looks fabulous – thank you for sharing the link! 🙂 I hope you have a great week!
Jess
August 29, 2011 at 6:39 amThat salmon looks awesome! Do you do anything special once the plank is on the grill? I tried this once and although we soaked the plank for awhile in advance it caught on fire. Could have just been a one time thing too so I should probably try again 🙂

August 29, 2011 at 7:20 amI feel you on the tearful goodbyes, Jenna. 🙁 I just moved to California from Indiana a few months ago, and my mom sobbed at the airport! It’s always hard.
Hope you had a great visit and you feel all better soon!

Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather
August 29, 2011 at 10:53 amGrilled salmon never let’s me down! It’s one of my favorites to prepare for guests too, simple and turns out great!
Rachel
August 29, 2011 at 10:59 amWow that salmon looks amazing! I need to learn how to do the whole cedar plank thing! And I love that pic of the wine glasses. Very cool!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga
August 29, 2011 at 11:07 amThere is just something about salmon that it’s a great meal to serve with guests of all kinds. Even though I am not currently eating salmon, when my parents come to town that is one meal that I can make really well, don’t have to babysit it, and they are impressed.
And Adam’s recipe ALWAYS looks so good!

August 30, 2011 at 5:20 amGlad you are feeling better! That salmon looks soooo good. Too bad about the corn – here in Ohio I never have to say the fresh-picked corn is sad looking. 🙂
