Salmon Sandwich and "Chips"

Fork is a local restaurant here in Boise that prides themselves on using local ingredients, and the food is amazing. At least once a week I crave their salmon filet sandwich. It is delicious!

So of course I made my own....

-1.5 lb salmon filet from the butcher
-Lemon
-Sliced red onion
-Sliced shallots
-Garlic Minced
-Yummy garlic sauce (pictured below)
-Avocado
-Butter
-Rolls (from Zeppole)
-Lettuce
-White chedder cheese (optional)

So For the cooking of the salmon:

1. Patted it dry

2. Salt and Pepper

3. Squeeze some lemon juice on top

4. Rub 1 minced garlic clove over the top

5. Layer slices of butter and lemon

6. Cook at 350 degrees for roughly 20-25 mins (check every 10 mins)

Picture isn't great, but it was buttery and delicious. I promise.

While the salmon was finishing cooking, I sauteed the red onion and shallots in a tiny bit of oil.

Next I sliced the rolls, buttered each side and toasted in the toaster oven.

Then I added a generous helping of this delicious Garlic parmesan spread along with avocado, lettuce, cheese and the shallots and red onion.

Again, the picture quality sucks and it doesn't look terribly fantastic, BUT it was sooo good and I was in heaven. So happy I pulled it off! 

Also, I decided to make homemade potato chips and it was quite the disaster. I started by frying them and they were NOT coming out the way I had envisioned them (half almost burnt half soggy). So I tried baking them and still got a lack luster result. So I threw my hands up and said "I GIVE UP" I was not meant to make potato chips. Ever.

So I settled for cooking sliced potatoes in the oven on 400 for about 10 mins to get a nice, normal side dish.....Oh and I rubbed some oil on them and sprinkled them with a seasoning called "garlic salt with parsley" before cooking. YUM!

Above are the fried ones...yuck.

These are the "normal" baked ones that actually tasted good....
