Like others, I used a salmon filet... braised it in garlic and olive oil on a cast iron skillet, which I then put into a 350 oven for 10-15 minutes.. Likewise, I jazzed up the mango salsa with red pepper flakes, extra garlic, several Tablespoons of cilantro, a dash of cumen and turmeric, and shallot. OMG, can hardly wait to make it again. Thanks for this winning recipe!!!

A recipe in AARP magazine called for julienning zukes and yellow squash. Didn't know how to julienne, so watched a demo on youtube. I was dismayed to find out I was supposed to throw away the parts of the squash that I squared off, so I saved them and found this *wonderful* and simple recipe to use them in! I used olive oil instead of butter, added two cloves of garlic (I love garlic and it's so *good* for you), and a bit of shallot. Yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

Simple and elegant. The first day I went by the recipe, keeping in mind other viewers' comments about the amount of balsamic vinegar. I also added more garlic and spring onions, as well as the stems. Nice and crunchy. The second day I substituted some red wine that had been opened too long, and added red onions. The result was very colorful and tasty. I forgot the pine nuts that one reviewer recommended. That would have been wonderful.
