Salmon Teriyaki and Liz

Spent the afternoon cooking and listening to The Avert Brothers (Brooklyn, Brooklyn my favorite) preparing for dinner with Liz.  While we live in the same city we love, she's a photographer who travels  when she can and so it's been a while. I cook and she brings us stories from places and people we'd never get to:  islands off of Louisiana, nature conservancies in California and Texas.  And from her travels we learn the cultural  norms that are so foreign to us as New Yorkers.  I am reminded over and over again  that America is a huge place, different styles, different assumptions, different expectations.  It's all settling in and reminds me of our good fortune:good health, intelligent kids, great life experiences.  An opportunity to learn more about people.

Recipe for Salmon Teriyaki:  Marinate for an hour (at least) salmon in teriyake sauce with cut up fresh green onions (scallions). Place salmon skin side down in 400 degree oven until your desired degree of doneness.  We do not like our salmon rare and so I baked for 30 minutes.
