Smoked Salmon Involtini
Not everyone is lucky enough to have parents worth celebrating. Alex, fortunately, is.
Matt is an amazing dad. I know how special that is. A special dinner for Father's day is my way of showing it.
He loves salmon, & salmon is what he got. An appetizer of smoked salmon rolled around a mixture of guacamole & cream cheese, served on mini-toasts. A beautiful piece of wild Alaskan salmon, sprinkled with chili powder, ground chipotle & smoked paprika, cooked lightly then topped with what can best be described as a salsa cruda. A side dish of a slightly made-up fattoush.
And for dessert - Mexican Coke float.

- The Post About Posts
I have a serious back-log of posts...I'll get them up as soon as I can! First: I'd found a recipe for smoked salmon, and since that smoker I bought Matt a few years ago has gotten very little use, I gently 'suggested' he try it out. One...
