Its a a seasonal treat. I like to lightly smoke them, sauté them, and finish them with a quick flambé of brandy.

Salmon covered with diced tomatoes, diced mushrooms, parsley, diced green onions, dash of hot sauce and s & p. Nuked yam and a mixed salad w/oil and lemon juice. Green tea.

I haven't decided what color I am going to diet.....

No picture of tonight's dinner - it was sole with the classic lemon sauce and I used goat milk butter and tarragon instead of parsley (success!), sides of (finally local) snap peas and mixed heirloom tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
It went down with a bottle of good vermentino - to me that and malvasia bianca are the classic mediterranean wines so just perfect for a summer evening with an ideal weather.

Here's a picture from few days ago when I cooked for just myself the one leftover duck breast from earlier - sides of snap peas and mixed fresh potatoes with butter and dill. I made a relish-type thing to smear on the duck after cooking - fresh mint, garlic, chipotle powder, olive oil, mustard, honey. As I usually do it was very much improvised but it was so good that I am going to be repeating it with the same (well, as same as eyeballed can get you) proportions.

And yes ......they go together just great. Sounds like you couldn't out do yourself much at that point.
