arm
greetings to you all from chilly Maine. It’s my hope that your
holidays were filled with joy and love. I hope the food was not only
wonderful, but that you spent more time with your loved ones and less
time with the food you were making for them!
The main recipe that I
send to you this time is one that is easy to make ahead and one that is
versatile enough to serve with fish, pork and chicken. It’s perfect
for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner! Serve with your favorite
steamed vegetable and the Herbed Potato recipe included here.
Follow this recipe if
you plan to make the sauce ahead. I’ve included instructions below if
you are planning to make everything at once.

pork tenderloin
2
tablespoons olive oil
½
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½
teaspoon salt
½
teaspoon paprika
|
• Rub tenderloin with pepper, salt and paprika.
• Heat sauté pan over medium high heat. When
hot, add the oil and the pork tenderloin. Brown the tenderloin
on all sides.
• Reduce heat to medium. Using the same pan,
follow the instructions for the sauce.
• Remove the pork tenderloin and let rest covered
on a cutting board while you puree the sauce and add the capers.
Cut the tenderloin on an angle into ¼- ½ inch slices.

Salmon or Chicken with Creamy Caper Sauce
|
|
2
8oz. portions of salmon
OR
2
chicken breasts
2
tablespoons olive oil
½
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½
teaspoon salt
|
• If instead you’d like to serve a fish entrée,
choose a firm but flaky fish such as salmon.
• Make the sauce and let rest in the
blender.
• Season the salmon or chicken with the salt and
pepper.
• Heat sauté pan over medium high heat. When hot,
add the oil and the salmon or chicken breasts, top side down.
Cook for 5 minutes and turn. Cook for another 3-6 minutes
more.
• The salmon should still be a bit pink in the
center; the chicken cooked all the way through. Pour any juices
from the pan into the blender with the sauce and serve.
