I’ve been fighting a losing battle against some kind of flu and my family has been eating some really garbagey things from the commissary; frozen pizza and lasagna, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese. They didn’t mind but I did 🙁 That’s why I dragged myself to the kitchen today, determined to make something that wouldn’t keep me in the kitchen over long, but that would take the frown off my face as I watched them eat.
Salmon with Cauliflower Puree
Boil the florets from a large head of cauliflower in chicken broth for 10 minutes, drain and reserve a little of the broth. Add a lump of butter to the drained cauliflower with salt and pepper, then mash with a little of the reserved broth.
Season 4 salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then put in a ziplock with some olive oil and balsamic or white wine vinegar and marinate for 30 minutes. Sear the salmon in a hot skillet and serve with the cauliflower.
This looks delicious! So glad to have come accross your blog, I am looking forward to reading more. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Thank you Danielle. I’m looking forward to browsing through your blog!
This lovely dish you can eat too, poor you being sick, probably made you sicker watching them eat frozen pizza and hot dogs! I would have taken to my bed too. You must be on the mend .. I hope you allowed yourself a nice glass of wine with the salmon.. c
Thank you c. Wine is medicine 😀
I agree completely, now where is my medicine!.. c
To our health!
OH no – well make sure you don’t lose it too badly. It’s best if I go first; you’ll get my skillet. Lovely looking fish!
Thank you so much for the sympathy, Frugal 😀
Well done you for making them some real food. I’ve never done cauliflower purée, but it sounds great!
Get well soon 🙂
Thanks Mad. Cauliflower puree is wonderful!

So sorry you’ve been ill! We had a round of it all a few weeks ago. Thought I’d never get back into the kitchen. What a lovely salmon and one of my favorite ways to eat cauliflower. Delicious!
Thank you Karista. Glad it’s finished for you, I never get sick like this!
I’m a huge fan of cauliflower puree – the first time I made it for my husband, he couldn’t believe it! Wonderful recipe and I do hope you feel better soon!
Thank you Lesley. Cauliflower is just a great vegetable!
Glad to see that, even if under the weather, you can still cook and photograph a beautiful meal! I really like vegetable purées, too. And cauliflower is a good one.
Thank you Michelle. I can’t believe my fanaticism led me to blog that meal 😀
I don’t see why that shouldn’t work with broccoli – that’s tomorrow sorted:)
Or romanesco 🙂
Healthy and, no doubt,delicious!
That salmon and its glaze looks so appetizing
I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Bassa 🙂
I hope you’re feeling better, Rosemary! This looks wonderful, and is especially impressive that you put it together and photographed it beautifully while under the weather.
Thank you Daisy. The crappy junk food they were eating was making me feel worse!
I’m sure! What we eat makes a tremendous difference in terms of how we feel.
