14.186 Pan-Seared Salmon and Steamed Potatoes with Dill Alioli
At the cabin, we have unused land that we loan out to neighboring farmers, who give us a couple boxes of whatever they've harvested - in this case, potatoes, fresh out of the ground. As a general practice, the bounties are gifted to my mother, but she wasn't present at the time of delivery, and we were, so we took possession. 2 boxes = 20 kg.
The task upon me is threefold: 1) prepare the potatoes in simple ways that allow for their natural taste and texture to come through, 2) mix up the applications so as to minimize potato fatigue, and 3) finish off the potatoes while at peak freshness.This afternoon, I was very happy to discover that E-Mart has begun to diversify its range of non-Korean items, including potted herbs (supra) and rice (infra).
The only thing missing was a glass of milk (I drank cava).
Rather than cooking the potato dish that I'd originally planned for dinner tonight, I settled for a quick pan-seared fillet of salmon and a side of steamed potatoes (that W had made earlier in the afternoon as a snack - and kept the skins on!), plus leftover alioli from the tortilla a few days back, enhanced with fresh dill from E-Mart yesterday. Given the salmon, and the potatoes, and especially the dill, the meal felt Swedish - because I'd never really worked with dill until KSCX (see for example 12.361 Toast Gravad Lax), I now tend to think of anything involving dill as Swedish.
