2 handsful small button mushrooms, cut in half
1/2 cup beef stock from bouillon cubes
good splash Irish whiskey
good pinch dried thyme leaves

What part of living blissfully in New York and owning an art gallery didn’t work for me? Well, the part that was transferred to London with my husband’s job… Seven years later, here we are, and I am deliriously content to live in the second greatest city in the world (first? second?), cooking, eating, bellringing, watching our remarkable daughter bring herself up in style, and describing it all here, for posterity.

Grilled Salmon Fillet with Lime and Ginger

(serves four)

1 lb salmon fillet, with skin
zest and juice of 1 lime
1-inch knob ginger, peeled and minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame oil
sea salt and pepper

I say “salmon with skin,” not because I eat the skin (I don’t, but some people do) but because it makes it easier to grill the fillet without its falling apart onto the coals or heating element of your grill.

Mix all marinade ingredients and paint the salmon with it, flesh side up. Grill in a 400-degree grill for 5 minutes per side for a nice pink, soft middle. If you like it weller done, go for it. With it, you MUST serve:

Cucumber Dill Sauce

1 cucumber, or 3 kirbys, sliced thin
1 handful fresh dill, chopped
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup sour cream
sea salt and pepper

Simply mix all ingredient, and VOILA, perfect sauce for your salmon. If you want to eat this as a salad, just add lots more cucumber.
