Usually, I like what I cook. I have a good palate and combine flavors well. While this dish wasn't truly awful, it just didn't float my boat. I grilled salmon and served it with penne pasta in a sauce made of butter, cream and parmesan cheese, colored with some leftover broccoli, some red sweet pepper and edamame. I didn't like the cream sauce with fish. Blame my father, he would never eat anything dairy on the same table with fish. I must have inherited the cream doesn't go with fish gene from him. We love edamame as a snack, hot or cold, but I didn't like it with fish or with pasta, to say nothing of in cream sauce.
Therefore, I warn you, do NOT try this dish at home. Blecch.

It looks pretty, though.
Yes, it looked nice and even tasted okay. It wasn't truly terrible or anything, I just wasn't impresssed with my culinary expertise for this meal. Usually family and guests rave about my food and I normaly am impressed with my own cooking. This time I was not. Just didn't care for the combination.
I stand by my review... an Alfredo type sauce just doesn't zing with salmon. If you try sonething similar and like it, LMK your recipe. I'll have another go.
something about that photo makes me feel hot--like it's something to eat in the winter. i think i will stick with my white wine and lime for summer. which by the way, is perfect for south beach, sanne--yell if you want the recipe. :)
i don't know about that whole naked cooking thing though--stuff can splatter!
