Crispy pollack fillet with salad

Pollack - my birthday fish

January 21st, 2019 | main dishes

Pollack may sound a bit unspectacular at first, admittedly. But if this salmon is the birthday present of your 12-year-old son, then it looks quite different! What a birthday dinner: Exotic breadcrumbs, crispy fried fish, crisp salad with pineapple and a fresh yoghurt dressing. For all sons, daughters, grandchildren, granddaughters looking for a birthday present, here is the recipe:

Once, we had a “pirate cookbook” (by Elisabeth Bangert) which my children were very fond of during their elementary school years. For one of my many 39th birthdays, my then 12-year-old son surprised me with the desire to cook something for me. He had chosen “fish fillets Caribbean Dream”. Since then, it has always remained the “birthday fish” for us. And, honestly, hats off for the 12-year-old!

Asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing

Finally spring. Finally asparagus time. Actually, asparagus is a light spring vegetable, BUT what happens when it is eaten with hollandaise sauce, potatoes and ham? Well, my recipe for an asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing is much lighter.

Turkey Skewers with Peach & Pimientos de Padron

Grill skewers with little meat, but with lots of vegetables and flavor! Here, the little Spanish peppers play the first violin. The sweetness of the peach softens the pepper sharpness a little bit. The aroma of the bay leaves gives these midsummer BBQ skewers the ultimate kick. Simply delicious.
