Tamari Maple Salmon

/in , /by

Salmon is a great fish to thrown on the grill or you can simply broil in your oven or sear on a skillet. It won’t fall apart like more delicate fish.

Tamari (soy sauce without the wheat) always pairs well with salmon. I like to add a touch of sweetness to and I did so by adding real maple syrup.

While you’re grilling the salmon, throw some sweet local corn on there as well. I get mine from Bedner’s Farm on 441 (that’s where the spinach and strawberries came from too!). Check out your local farm for fresh veggies and grill them up with a good piece of fish.

Restaurant Review: Efes Bistro – Fish & Grill House

/in , , /by

My husband and I decided to try a new restaurant for our Friday night dinner out. We spotted Efes Bistro using an App on his Droid and decided to check it out. We were greeted warmly by the hostess who asked if we had reservations. Clearly, they are busy on a Friday night. We were able to get a cozy booth in the back and noticed we were quite a bit younger than all of the other clientele. They seem to have loyal customers so that is always a good sign. Read more →
