Summer is almost over, my friends. It’s going to be hard for me to say goodbye to the berries, the peaches, the summer squash – all of the beautiful produce that is overflowing at the market right now. I’m clinging to this food season with every meal, and tonight was quintessential summer.

blackened salmon with a brown butter drizzle

I think I may have mentioned this already, but salmon isn’t really my favorite fish. It’s just so salmony. So it’s funny that we eat it about once a week in our house. Clarification: I don’t care for it as much when other people fix it, I love it when I prepare it myself. Is that snooty?
The thing about salmon is that it’s so affordable and a cinch to prepare, extremely good for your body and a very sustainable fish. All of these things appeal to my sensibilities. Also, I have found some ways to make salmon taste creamy, not salmony.

My Mom was inspired from my post about trout almandine and prepared a letter and a few recipes for the blog. I am delighted to share them! However, the main ingredient is a bit of a stretch for me personally. I am still steadfast in my goal be a tad more adventurous in the meat department, but turtle? I like turtle. We had a little turtle that visited our backyard regularly, and I took pictures of her. How can I eat turtle? Turtles are cute; thus nullifying their qualification as food (see my previous post on this matter). Nonetheless, the recipe deserves to be shared. Please note that Mom (aka Mimi) has shared some of her own notes following the recipes. Enjoy!
