Rick Podowski and The Hefty Trio love to eat fish. This week we are going to revisit three easy to make fish dishes that are great to take to a potluck. Lick on the title to see the recipe and the wine pairing.
Irish Poached Salmon with Watercress Sauce
This dish from Murder Before the Bell is a favorite of both Rick and Erin. Rick likes to serve it cold with the pinkness of the salmon highlighted by the green watercress sauce. It's perfect to take to a picnic or a potluck.
Ceviche and Roasted Asparagus And Red Onion Quesadillas
In The Winning Certificate, Rick is having a romantic dinner with his girlfriend, Elaine.
Served in a glass bowl, the ceviche was a delicious blend of scallops marinated in lime juice until they were firm and white, along with tomatoes, onions, and fresh cilantro. Surrounding the dish was a sea of crispy tortilla chips to be used to scoop up the seafood.
"Once when I was in Acapulco," Rick told her. "I munched on ceviche while sitting in a restaurant located on the side of the cliff at La Quebrada. It was early evening and the divers jumped off the cliffs into the ocean several hundred feet below while a member of the band in the restaurant did a drum-roll. Perhaps it was the atmosphere but the ceviche there was perfection."
The main course was a grilled quesadilla filled with roasted asparagus, red onions, Jack cheese, and shrimp, accompanied by a cumin lime sauce. Also on the table was Mexican rice and refried beans. A simple salad also accompanied the meal."
Smoked Salmon Sandwiches
Smoked Salmon Sandwiches are featured in The Fishy Chips. Rick loves these sandwiches and they are perfect to take to a party. The sandwiches contain red onion, cream cheese, capers, and dill weed on pumpernickel bread.
