Meal No. 728: Poached Salmon

There are a few meals that have been with me from the beginning of my 12 or 13 years of "cooking." (You know: where I tried to get a bit more serious and knowledgeable about making good food in the kitchen.) Tonight's is one of those early adoptees: poached salmon with a chilled rosemary-dijon cream sauce.

It went down nicely with toasted pine nut Israeli couscous and a green salad with creamy Caesar dressing.
