Amy and Gern were the delightful dinner guests this past Saturday night, which gave me a chance to serve them salmon croquettes with garlic-chili-lime aïoli, plus garlicky roasted asparagus cuts and a salad of Caesar-topped power greens.
It proved a suitable supper on a stormy evening.
A severe weather system hit the country's mid-section the night before, spawning dozens of tornadoes and leaving tremendous devastation in its path, especially ini western Kentucky. We were brushed by the barest edge of it for no more than an hour, which brought down nearly the last of the leaves but only the smallest of dead branches. We'd hit an unusual high of 70°F mid-afternoon under mixed skies with strange warm breezes, which of course I texted to my sister whose hometown in Indiana was sitting on a sad 36°F.
Recipe sent to me by my sister Allison, and adapted from "Salmon Burgers" (p. 396) and "Herb Sauce" (p. 395), from Denise Austin, Shrink Your Female Fat Zones, Rodale Books (2003).
"Chili-Lime Aïoli," from David Wald of Princeton, NJ, May 2009.
