This wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but this blog reflects my preferences, and with a four-day fresh halibut sale happening at Whole Foods in the middle of wild salmon season too, this weekend is going to be about fish. Tonight will be halibut, probably just going straight on the grill to enjoy in all its glorious simplicity. If diverting to a recipe, one that's worked quite well for me is halibut and red pepper skewers with chili-lime sauce from Bon Appetit. And I've already mentioned that black mission figs have made their first appearance of the year at Whole Foods, so pancetta-wrapped figs will probably hit the grill every time it's lit this weekend.
The order of tomorrow and Sunday's dinners will kind of depend on the winds, and Sunday is looking like the better day to return to the grill (but see below for a change in plans), so I'm thinking tomorrow will be a big soup: smoky shrimp and halibut stew from Bon Appetit. It could be done with more of that fantastic halibut from the Whole Foods sale (see the post below for details), or considerably improved in price by using the previously frozen wild caught haddock (a fine substitute in a dish like this) that's on sale for a mere $3.97 a pound at Sprouts instead.
Unless I flip the order around, Sunday will be back to the grill, this time with some Copper River sockeye salmon going on it. Sprouts has it on sale for $12.99 a pound, but Safeway wins at $9.99 a pound, club price. Some diced yams grilled in foil packages and some corn on the cob, and that's a feast. *Whoopsie, a morning update. Having just seen the revised forecast, Saturday and Sunday definitely will be flipped, since tomorrow is supposed to be 94 (definitely the grilling day), while the breezes have shifted to Sunday, which will only be 80, making it the soup day.
Which will get us through a fish-lover's weekend.
