sorel salmon and apples


I can't get enough of the citrus flavor of Sorel today. So for lunch I baked a salmon filet tossed with olive oil salt pepper and lemon juice. Salmon on a bed of fresh sorel with a sliced apple on the side. YUM!

Sorrel!

It is spring. I know because 1) the farmer's market is open and 2) they had Sorrel. I love sorrel. Little green leaves packed with lemony punch. Each bite is like biting into a lemon. I love a sorrel.
But you have to get it while it is in season, there is only a small window of time during the spring when you can enjoy the greatness of sorrel.

I like sorell by itself. No fuss, no dressing- naked sorel. Its also good added to a spring green salad mix. .

Today I enjoyed a sorell salad with a light vinegerette (brown sugar, dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, lemon juice); roasted asparagas topped with a poached egg (follow julia's directions in the art of french cooking- perfectly poached oeufs result all the time) and delicious Kentucky bacon!

Welcome Spring, Welcome sorrel!
