After eating this at a restaurant in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, I was surprised that the chef was willing to give me the recipe. My favorite way of preparing salmon. A suitable meal for special company. Excellent with Pinot Grigio - our favorite is Ecco Domani®. We usually serve it with baked rice with pine nuts.
Ingredients
- 4 , 6 ounce
- 1 , 6 ounce
- 4 slices smoked Gouda cheese
- 0.25 cups butter , melted
- 2 lemons , juiced - divided
- 1 , 8 ounce
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 , 2 ounce
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Trim the salmon fillets, if necessary, to remove thin portion; with a very sharp knife, cut the fillets horizontally through the center but leave one end uncut so the fillet opens like a book. Place 1/4 of the lump crabmeat onto each opened fillet, and top crab with a slice of smoked Gouda; close the fillets. Place each fillet into a single-serving baking dish. Mix the melted butter and juice of 1 lemon in a small bowl, and drizzle the lemon butter over all the salmon fillets.

3
Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily, 30 minutes or as needed.

4
In a bowl, mix the juice of the 2nd lemon with sour cream and dill; spoon sour cream mixture over each baked fillet, and sprinkle liberally with capers. Serve immediately.

Manjar (Dulce de Leche) from Scratch
This is one hundred percent Chilean. It is a sort of caramel that can be found everywhere in Chile. Actually, most pastry making in my country has manjar in it. The truth is that one can eat manjar anytime during the day and in many different ways: with bread, cheese, cookies, and my favorite, with meringue. Some of my foreign friends love it, some others hate it, so I guess you must give it a try and judge.
Tomato Bredie
Tomato bredie is a popular South African meal and good winter fare. Bredie is an old Cape name for a dish of meat and vegetables stewed together so that the flavors intermingle. The gravy is rich, thick, and full-bodied and obtained by using meat with a fair amount of bone and fat, rolling it in flour, and browning it before the vegetables are added. The flavor improves if left a day or two before eating. Nice with brown rice.
Santa Fe Carrot Cake
High-altitude version of a great carrot cake. A great success in Santa Fe, NM at 7000 feet.
