A Feast...

"La Vigilia" or "the vigil" is kept with the custom of dining on 7 fish dishes as we await the birth of the savior at midnight.


Maryann of Finding La Dolce Vita and Joe of Italyville are hosting The Feast of the Seven Fishes, I am sending over a simple dish. The Salmon was seasoned with the Spicehound's Fire-Brick Pepper and grilled on the stove with garlic-infused oil, served over basmati rice seasoned with butter, oregano, salt and pepper and roasted brussel sprouts. The sprouts were roasted with the same garlic-infused oil, salt and pepper and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Boy that looks good! I've got some salmon in my freezer too. I've been getting freshly caught fish from our local fish monger. I order online & then pick up on Saturdays.

I roasted brussel sprouts for the first time about a week ago. My husband really liked them. They tasted great and they didn't stink up the kitchen.

Lots of inspiration in your "simple" dinner!

Freshly caught? I envy those of you that live near the coast, here in the midwest we have to rely on frozen fish .. ah well :)

Darius

So do I :)

Thanks Maryann .. :)

Grilled salmon is the way to go Racquel .. the pepper seasoning gives it that extra punch.
