What happened to it?

What's the better choice for baked salmon?  A tarragon mustard sauce or a creamy dill a.k.a. tzatziki.  Ty.

In today's America, sissy stuff like recipes are frowned upon.

I love tarragon and mustard, sounds delicious. When I bake salmon, I do it en papillote and add lemon, butter or EVOO, sometimes white wine, S&P, and herbes fines if I'm using herbs. I'll add an array of vegetables of the moment/season, wrap it up, bake it. Playing saucier is super fun, en papillote is super easy. Enjoy!

Ty, Jump!  I hadn't thought of that. 375 for 15 mins?  12?  I usually bake salmon in a sheet pan at 400 for 18.

Respect marine life. Why are we using fish as food?

No kidding.  Can't grill manatee but salmon is okay?

Salmon do have it rough.  But they are plentiful.  They and octopuses seem to have gotten shafted a bit.

My pleasure! Maybe start with 400 for 12 and see what happens. My old electric stove/oven is a little finicky, like probably 25 degrees off finicky, so test and try. The beauty is you really can't mess it up, but the veg can get a bit mushy after awhile.

I don't eat a lot of what goes into the makings of a shrimp boil, but I also tried an en papillote recipe with shrimps, andouille, corn, potato, bell pepper, old bay, etc. Was pretty solid.

I also use this technique for halibut on occasion as it's so easy to over cook. Although, I much prefer it in my trust old cast iron pan...slightly overcooked.

Have fun!

When I was in Greece a few weeks ago, I tried octopus for the first time. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't like, "Ooh, I can't wait to eat this again."

Not like the first time I ate orca meat - loved that!

I'd recommend giving it another shot.  I know some people are totally turned off by it, and I understand.  Totally disagree, but understand.  But if you're ambivalent, give it another go cause the second/third time after the initial weirdness is awesome.  My wife had tried it once or twice before we met, was of the same mind as you.  Made her give it another go at Avra in NY and she completely changed her tune.  Similarly we had it in Crete and we both still rave about that particular dish.

Multiple species love 🐙 and salmon.  Humpback whales sometimes go after salmon hatcheries and win.

We were in the Dolomites in Italy last year and were to a coffee shop and smelled an incredible smell coming from a building.  Took a look around and they were selling bakery, most of which had a shortbread base.  Ended up stopping in there I think 3 times that day and 1 more time the next day.  Incredible stuff.

Shortbread is probably my favorite cookie/biscuit, so good.

If you find the time, I'd love to hear about the Dolomites. Planning a few hiking/walking adventures and Dolomites is on the list for sure.

Jump,

I would highly recommend Kourabiedes if you haven't had them.  Pistachio.  My Great Aunt and Uncle were Greek and owned a bakery for many years.  I would devour those cookies as a little tyke, and to this day no shortbread style cookie compares to them.

Muggs,

Big fan of Kourabiedes, thanks for bringing them back to the front of my mind. I do love pistachio. I'm definitely an English shortbread devotee, but now you've made my decision that I need to have my own personal shortbread challenge!

Just bumped the Northern Italy thread I had before the trip with hikes we did.  Definitely recommend the trip!

Jump,

I'm 1/2 Irish and 1/4 Greek.  My mom is 1st generation Irish and according to her, shortbread is Scottish.  Or Irish.  She will not give England any credit for shortbread.    All that said, I'm blessed to have Greek blood.
