One Fish, Two Fish.....

Tonight I made some good salmon. Thought I would pass the recipe along for you all.

It's from Epicurious and can be found here. I sort of did my own thing.  I made mashed potatoes instead of the way they did them. I put the salmon and sauce in a pan alone in the oven. Then instead of the spinach, I roasted some asparagus in the oven with EVOO and salt and pepper.  Man, it all turned out great! The sauce on top of the mashed potatoes was great, too.

**Excuse the small problem I have with getting the directions to show when I copy and paste them from Epicurious.  If they don't show up, just click on the link above and go from there. Sorry.**
Enjoy!
