This recipe is definitely a winner. I'm not sure it's Oscar worthy but the Academy (family) voted to keep it. We all love Salmon so it was almost a sure thing to begin with which is why I chose it for tonight. It also seemed relatively easy so I can have more time to get ready for the big event. Every year we like to dress up, watch the Oscars and pretend we are the Fashion Police (My pick of the night for best dress was a toss up between Scarlett Johanson and JLO). In the past we have made a red carpet, professional hair/makeup and wore gowns. Other times it's been PJ's. How far we go with it depends on the weather and if it's a beautiful day as it usually is in Paradise, we end up at the beach and late back home too tired to go all out. It was a beautiful Sunny Sunday.
I used gluten free brown rice instead of whole wheat (read Wheat Belly or Grain Brain to know why I prefer it). Everyone liked it. The adults were fine with the bed of uncooked spinach but the kids wished it had been sauteed. The basil, lemon, garlic and olive oil made it a fresh and healthy guilt free tasty meal for everyone. It might not have been what they served at the Oscars but it was good enough for us movie goers. What do they know anyway, they picked Bird Man as Movie of the Year!
