WHAT TO DO WITH A FILLET OF SALMON

All of you who love fish or most seafood's are going to love this dish to serve for a breakfast or a late lunch!

"Salmon Poach" prepared by
Mr. Gardener

I've always viewed the plate as a canvas for food art. I'm sure the majority of you all reading this have been under the magnetic influence of an image of your favorite dish. For me it is usually an image of seafood! Some of the best visuals that entice me are images of food! 

One morning, I was glaring into the refrigerator looking for something to make for breakfast.

Of course the first thing I glanced at were the eggs on the shelf, but I also noticed that I had thawed a few salmon fillets and a package of baby sea scallops from the night before. I also had ingredients for a salad including a few fruits. The golden delicious apple staring at me, and a bag of white grapes sitting in a bowl struck a few creative strings.   I decided to broil the salmon fillet, poach the egg,  and pan grill the baby sea scallops. With most seafood, at times, I like to have a sauce on the side to compliment it. For me, I like a chipotle mayo as a sauce of choice with seafood. You can easily make this by blending/mixing together both mayonnaise and tomato sauce, or with a hot sauce of your choice. The hot sauce you choose will affect the level of spiciness ...  mild, medium, or hot etc.

Now the theme of this breakfast dish I made is based on the main ingredients above - and stacking them on the plate. The concept I think that made this plate a beautiful composition, is when I decided to use the vegetables/fruit as a garnish instead of having them on the side. In addition, I decided to use the other half of a dark chocolate bar that was waiting to be used. As you can see, it made a nice dressing and topping for the fruit, and was a tasty compliment!

ENJOY!
