Salmon

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, June 22, 2010—

TO MARKET TODAY to buy vegetables and fish. The Fish Guy is such a reliable fellow, and so friendly: today he had a big jar of lemonade; and when I said to Lindsey Would you like some lemonade, sweetie, he broke out into a big grin: How long you guys been married, anyway? I told him, of course, and he smiled some more at the numbers of long-married couples he sees at the market… but I've strayed from the subject.

I sautéed some delicious little potatoes with the one good-sized artichoke that's appeared so far in my garden, along with a spring onion and a clove of garlic. I set them aside and Lindsey used the same pan to make a court-bouillon with some Cheap Pinot Grigio and some herbs to poach the salmon. Green salad, of course, since we had no chard today; and a novel vinaigrette, with finely minced radish and raw garlic in it.

Cheap Pinot grigio; cheap Riesling
