Salmon and fresh croutons
Sorry for the lack of a post on our last batch of CSA goodies. I was out of town and a neighbor picked them up for us. But we got more lettuces, spinach, beets, and red onions!
In an effort to make the salads more interesting, I made some croutons.
1/2 loaf of a French bread (Batard, torn into little crouton like bits)
some fresh oregano and parsley
some dried parsley, as it just isn't growing this year
onion powder
salt & pepper
and
a nice drizzling of olive oil.
Mix all that up. Hands work great for this! Place on a tray into a 350 degree oven. I cooked them 10 minutes, stirred. 10 minutes more. Stirred. Then for 6 minutes. Who the heck are these people that say they are done in only 12 minutes or something?!! As you can see from the photo, they came out pretty happy:

On to the salmon. A dish I've done before, mainly because it hasn't failed me yet. I do twist it up a bit though. This time, by adding some fresh spinach.
I really wanted to use my preserved lemons with this, but I think they need another week until they are to my liking.
This used up 1 of the onions ( I discarded the tops though. I should have used them, or dehydrated them). I'm too tired to go into details, but email me if you want the specifics! This was covered while cooking!

Then, I added the blob of spinach:

Why the spinach discolored a bit, I have no idea!
