Super quick sketch. Tonight will be salmon of some sort. I love Whole Foods' salmon burgers for both taste and convenience, but they recently seem to have adversely changed their pricing structure, going from $9.99 a pound (always with one version on sale for $7.99 a pound) to a per burger price, which I think (but would like to verify) was $4.99 each when I passed by them at the Pearl Street store a couple of days ago. I wasn't paying the closest attention, but that would be a fair price jump if remembered correctly, since two burgers weigh in the two thirds to three quarter pound range. Sprouts has fresh farmed Atlantic salmon for $6.99 a pound this week, and Lucky's Market has previously frozen coho for $10.99 a pound in Boulder, and as they continue to favor Longmont in pricing, $9.99 a pound there.
Looking for ideas for the early spring bounty from the Boulder Farmers' Market for tomorrow, the current issue of Bon Appetit has a lovely article on "Green Power," featuring spring market produce, which is leading me to consider smoked trout with pea shoots and spring onions. That might do better as an appetizer, but in the right proportions with a crusty baguette, might also work as a main.
Sunday will veer 180 degrees away from earliest spring produce from the Farmers' Market, as Lucky's has just announced first of the season sweet corn from Florida, and at the great price of 25 cents an ear at both the Boulder and Longmont stores. Since we're a long way from our local corn in July, I'm going even further anti-seasonal by doing corn and green chile chowder from the Food Network, pulling some roasted chiles from last fall's season from my freezer. Sorry, all the lovely young greens at the Farmers' Market can't get me away from 2014's first mention of fresh sweet corn, even if it's conventional and comes from Florida.
