Summer Salmon
At the market, the tomatoes are starting to look pretty good, so I picked up a few. I was in the mood for salmon and got a small tail-end fillet chunk. The salmon set me thinking that dill might work with tomatoes. I'm not sure why I thought to brown the butter, but it makes sense in hindsight. There was an element missing, so I found some Greek yogurt in the fridge and added dill, but it was lacking. Tried salt and pepper. There was a definite improvement, but not quite there. A touch of horseradish sealed the deal. It made sense to use the, "tomato story," bowl I got at Daiso, a Japanese dollar store near my house. Pretty satisfied with the results overall. I'd put it on a menu.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I had my sous chef chop about 1 1/2 Tbsp of dill and stir it into some Greek yogurt. We added horseradish and black pepper to taste.
- 2
I picked the majority of the remaining dill and sliced the tomatoes into large chunks, removing the core.
- 3
The butter was heated gently until browned. The dill fronds went in the pan and sizzled briefly, followed by tomatoes. Heat was removed.
- 4
I hit the tomatoes with a little salt and a touch of good balsamic, then set the pan aside.
- 5
To sear the salmon, I brought my trusty cast iron griddle to nearly smoking before adding a pour of olive oil. The prepped and lightly-salted salmon fillets were placed skin-side down in the pan to sear the skin crisp, then gently released with a fish spatula, flipped to brown the opposite side, and set aside to rest.

To plate, I spooned a mound of tomatoes into a bowl and placed the salmon fillet on top. I poured a little juice from the tomato pan over the salmon and added some dollops of dill yogurt. I tried to make it look pretty, but, well... It tasted good.

So I made Vickys Lemon & Dill Salmon Skewers for dinner last night. They are delicious by the way and I highly recommend trying them!! I bought 4 salmon fillets, about 2 lbs and cut the cubes from the thick center portion of each fillet. This left the thinner edges of each fillet to do something with. So this morning I decided to make a quick salmon salad with the scrap salmon. I even had about 4 cubes of grilled salmon left over from last night that I added in to my flaked salmon. I used all my fresh dill last night so used dried dill weed in the salad, but fresh can certainly be used. Great use of leftovers.I'd add a link to Vicky's amazing recipe, but I don't know how!
