Greetings friends!
2013: Celebrating 20 years of growing food for our community!! CALIFORNIA WILD-CAUGHT KING SALMON
arrives fresh at Outer Aisle $16/lb
While waiting for this year's Sockeye Salmon catch to arrive we couldn't pass up the offer of fresh King Salmon still coming from the coast of California (Klamath salmon). California Wild-Caught King Salmon are harvested using "trolling." Trolling is an environmentally friendly fishing method - the fish are caught one at a time with barbless hooks. Using trolling, fish that might be too small or the wrong species can easily be returned to the water, unharmed. (see recipe below)

RECIPE of the week
Summer Peach Marinated Salmon and Avocado Rice Bowl Recipe
Recipe
4 medium-large, fresh peaches
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1-1/2 pounds wild-caught salmon fillet, skin removed
1 large, ripe avocado
2 finely chopped red onions (or scallions)
4 cups cooked Rice
Sea salt and freshly found black pepper
- Peel 2 of the peaches, remove the pits, and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or a blender, and purée them until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Mix the honey, soy sauce, and ginger into the peach purée, and add the mixture to a baking dish, about 8 X 8-inches, or a heavy-duty zip-lock bag. (This is a very thick marinade.)
- Add the salmon to the marinade in either the baking dish or zip-lock bag. If you're using the dish, if necessary, cut the salmon into large pieces to fit.
- Be sure all of the salmon is well coated with the marinade, cover with plastic wrap (if using the dish), and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- You can grill or sauté the salmon. Preheat the grill or sauté pan and place the salmon on a large plate, wiping off most, but not all, of the excess marinade. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and then place on the grill or in the pan. You should hear a sizzling sound -- if you don't it's not hot enough. Wait for the sizzle! Grill or sauté the salmon just until it's cooked through, a couple of minutes per side. (It should remain translucent in the very center.) Set aside to cool completely.
- Peel and cut the avocado into bite-sized pieces. Place the avocado in a large mixing bowl and add the scallions. Then wash and dry the 2 remaining peaches, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and add them to the bowl. Once the salmon has cooled, using your hands, break it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl as well. Gently mix to combine.
- Spoon the cooked rice into 4 individual serving bowls, or a large serving platter. Evenly top the it with the salmon mixture.
- This is best served cool.
RED BELL PEPPER SOUP
Yields 7 -8 cups; serves 6
4 cups vegetable or Chicken Broth
2 jalapeno peppers, split lengthwise, deveined, and seeded
1 large potato, peeled and chopped
4 tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 TBS olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
4 red/yellow bell peppers, seeded and chopped
Salt and freshly group pepper to taste
½ cup milk
½ cup heavy cream (optional)
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 cup sour cream, garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro or lime basil for garnish
Place broth in large saucepan. Add the chiles, potatoes and tomatoes. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, then reduce and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Remove the chiles. In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and peppers 10-15 minutes, or until soft. Combine the garlic and peppers with the broth, potatoes, and tomatoes in a blender. Process until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan, and season with salt and pepper. Add the milk and cream, blending thoroughly, reheat over low heat, so the soup does not boil. Add the lime zest and juice. Garnish with cilantro or lime basil.
