Salmon; potatoes

Eastside Road, April 20, 2013—

THERE'S JUST SOMETHING so inevitable about the combination: salmon and potatoes. And also about the combination: potatoes and parsley. Lindsey swears it isn't parsley we had tonight, but cilantro. But I think someone made a mistake somewhere. This was awfully mild cilantro. This was, I'm sure of it, Italian parsley, the sort we have growing spontaneously by the cypress tree on the patio.

The salmon's from the freezer, bought at the farm market a few weeks ago from Dave, but put away for later use. The lemon's our own. The cilantro is parsley, I'm sure of it, and it's so good with steamed potatoes…
