Salmon and grilled vegetables #recipe + book #giveaway from author @DarylWoodGerber

From daryl:

I am sad to say as of April 1, we bid adieu to our lovely Ellie Alexander as a regular on the blog. As you all know, this can be a very stressful time for all, but with young ones in the family and homeschooling and book deadlines, it can just be too much.  To send Ellie out with a bang, I'm offering a book giveaway today to lure you to leave a comment and wish her well on her new journey.   Don't miss her upcoming release, coming June 30...

Book giveway below!

We will be adding a new member to the family in April. Keep your eyes peeled.

What's it about?

The denizens of Crystal Cove are salivating over the upcoming Food Bowl Week, when local chefs offer some of their best and most imaginative creations in bite-size portions all over town. Bookstore proprietor Jenna Hart is hungry to sample as many of the delicacies as she can, but when she stumbles onto the dead body of a local food reporter and learns that her best friend’s husband is the primary suspect, she’ll have to summon the appetite for a side dish of sleuthing to prove his innocence.

Jenna knows the ambitious and aggressive reporter, who was strangled at a fitness center with her shredded restaurant reviews scattered around her, left behind a long list of potential suspects. As she begins piecing together the scant clues, she uncovers illicit ties between the victim and a local newspaper owner, a spurned would-be lover, and a host of disgruntled restaurant owners not a bit torn up by the critical reporter’s demise. And with a solution so close she can almost taste it, Jenna turns up the heat on the culprit, realizing too late that she’s the next course on the murderer’s menu . . .

But now, let's talk about for food for you!

How are you doing during this stressful time? Reading? Baking? Walking more than you used to?

Are you trying to figure out what to make using whatever you have in the freezer? I like to keep fish in the freezer at all time so I can eat "healthy" once in a while.

I had a number of vegetables in the refrigerator and thought a quickie meal would be perfect for dinner. EASY and FLAVOR are the name of the game when I'm feeling stressed. How about you?

Don't get me wrong. During the day, I'm eating plenty of sugary things that are bad for me, but at night, I really try to treat my body right!

Enjoy this simple but elegant meal.

Salmon and a variety of vegetables

(for 2)

2 portions salmon, skin off

1 tablespoon olive oil

For vegetables

1 turnip, peeled and diced

1 roma tomato, diced

1 zucchini, sliced thin

10-20 snow peas, chopped

1 tablespoon Italian parsley, diced

1 tablespoon chives, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

salt and pepper to taste

white wine, if desired

Cook salmon as desired. I like to brush with olive oil and broil in a hot oven, 3-4 minutes a side.

Prepare vegetables and herbs.

In a saucepan, melt the olive oil and butter.  When it’s sizzling, stir in the vegetables. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and toss in the herbs and seasonings. Set on plate and top with salmon. If desired, add a tablespoon of white wine to the olive oil and butter.
