A Seafood Extravaganza! The 50th birthday week came to an end on a high note!

Take a look at these beauties we cooked up this week! Halibut Fillet, Wild King Salmon Fillet, Whole Cooked Dungeness Crab, and Yellowfin Tuna Steak!
Started off with Dungeness Crab on Thursday which was Halloween night and served with some great candy bars(As seen in the previous post)! Friday night we moved onto the Yellowfin Tuna Steaks. Recipe courtesy of New York Chef Rocco DiSpirito. I found recipe for Seared Tuna, with Green Beans, Lemon and Wasabi on Epicurious's website http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Seared-Tuna-with-Green-Beans-Lemon-and-Wasabi-363404 Here is the pic of finished product and the Seared Tuna was cooked to perfection medium rare!
It was a great evening! We followed up this night with a morning bike ride to The Hair Loft for an early haircut appointment with the legendary hair stylist Jerry, whom many of you know as my bro! after the haircut and 22 mile ride we arrived back home for our Saturday morning breakfast of Eggs, Sausage, Alderwood Smoked Garlic & Pepper Alaskan King Salmon and wheat bread baguette!
We enjoyed the rest of Saturday getting many things done around the house and getting Cheryl ready for her trip to Boston. She leaves Sunday morning for a conference and returns home on Thursday night. Saturday evening we cooked what we discussed could be one of my best cooked meals that I could not have done with out my number one sous chef Cheryl! Another find of mine that I found on Epicurious's website this one I had many of my own twists on the actual recipe we substituted halibut for the cod http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Cod-with-Chorizo-and-Breadcrumbs-51179210 I covered the halibut with Panko breadcrumbs and added a couple more tablespoons of red wine vinegar, the smoked Spanish chorizo sausage was perfect with the meal, along with grilled carrots purchased at the farmers market! Here is a pic of the final dish! Amazing and very easy to make!

  1. I've always been envious of your ability to cook seafood. It always looks amazing! And what I've had the privilege of sampling has tasted amazing too!

  2. Thanks Matt! Lots of trial and error in my youth! Now pretty simple? Tell your Packer lads to go easy on the Bear lads tomorrow night!

  3. That's impressive, the breakfast and crab sound good. The sausage and halibut is interesting, in the Northeast chorizo is often cooked with fish. Was this done with your wife's trip to Boston in mind or just coincidence?
