Salmon with Pineapple Salsa

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup chopped red sweet pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
3 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro or chives
1 tablespoon honey
1 small fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 1-pound fresh skinless salmon fillet, 1 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1. For salsa, in a medium bowl combine pineapple, sweet pepper, onion, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, the cilantro, honey, and jalapeno pepper. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.
2. Lightly grease the rack of an indoor electric grill or lightly coat with cooking spray. Preheat grill. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 serving-size pieces. Brush both sides of fish with the remaining lime juice and sprinkle with cumin.
3. Place fish on the grill rack, tucking under any thin edges. If using a covered grill, close lid. Grill until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (For a covered grill, allow 4 to 6 minutes. For an uncovered grill, allow 8 to 12 minutes, gently turning once halfway through grilling.) Serve the fish with salsa. Makes 4 servings.

Roza emailed me the recipe last month and I've made the salmon pineapple recipe 6 times already. The pineapple salsa is the best I ever had, so I've also made it on its own just for corn chips. The sweet and spicy is good with the salty.

This gelatin capsule makes sharp observations. You should go see his illustrated commentary on the unfortunate choices of Israel.

Please, Save the Children

"I believe Israel’s response to Hamas’ missile attacks have been disproportionate and outrageous. I believe their actions only further endanger the security of Israelis while inflicting collective punishment and a severe humanitarian crisis upon Gazans. Indeed, just as I cannot understand what it must be like to be a citizen of Sderot, I cannot even begin to imagine what it
must be like to be a Gazan citizen at the moment, living under constant air attack, with no running water or electricity and dwindling food, as hospitals fill up with wounded and corpses lie rotting in the streets because relief workers are unable to reach them."

Congratulations, Jenny!

Jenn had a baby girl last night. She was born at 11:28 PM. She is 19 inches tall, and she weighs 7 pounds 2 ounces. And her name will be Levana. I want pictures.


Updating January 14. I lost my photograph. I put it in my bag, and from there, it slipped into another dimension. Jenn is sending another.
