This is a great glaze for grilled salmon. Very easy, and everyone loves it.
Kale and Fennel Frond Frittata
A very green frittata that makes delicious use of fennel fronds. I love the delicate flavor that they impart, and the kale and feta cheese in this frittata are a perfect match. You could use spinach or chard instead of kale, if desired.
