April 17, 2012 Dinner - Salmon Medallions with rice and baby bok choy

April 17, 2012 Dinner - Salmon Medallions with rice and baby bok choy

Another easy meal tonight because I had to work late and Miguel Cordova came by to estimate the masonry job for the new garden we are planning to build.

I stopped at Sunflower Market today and bought 1lb. of fresh Atlantic Salmon, two mild Italian pork sausages, ½ lb. of fresh string beans and two artichokes. 

Suzette decided to make salmon medallions by slicing the salmon filet  into two thin flat filets and then skewering each half filet with a skewer and sautéing them in Chilean olive oil and serving them with boiled rice and baby bok choy.  I cleaned and cut three baby bok choy into pieces and then sliced 7 or 8 water chestnuts and 2 green onions.  While Suzette sautéed the Salmon I cooked the bok choy mixture in the wok with some of Suzette’s Mu Shu Pork sauce and a bit of sesame oil and a bit of water to keep the sauce emulsified.

We plated up the dishes and drank Concanon Sauvignon Blanc wine (Jubilation $3.33 per bottle) with dinner. 

When folded over and skewered the middle of the salmon tend to be slightly under cooked when sautéed in this manner, which I like very much.  As the salmon sits it cooks a bit more and is juicy and red in the middle, somewhere between sashimi and super juicy cooked fish.

Bon Appétit
