Grilled salmon Caesar salad – Food for a heatwave Part IV

by Jeanne Horak on September 22, 2006 5 Comments in Fish, Salads

Grilled salmon Caesar salad

How appropriate that, as this series is drawing to a close, we are having yet another spell of warm weather in London!  This time, it’s apparently the tail end of Hurricane Gordon, swirling around somewhere over the north Atlantic that is bringing flooding to some parts of England but hot (27C!) weather to London.  Go figure.

One of my ultimate favourite foods – in fact, one that would definitely feature on my “condemned man’s last meal” list – is Caesar salad.  There are various theories as to where the salad originated and got its name from, with some saying it was named after Julius Caesar himself!  But the generally accepted theory is that it was invented in 1924 by restauranteur Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico.  Like so many dishes, it was born out of necessity rather than creativity – the kitchen was running out of ingredients so Caesar threw together a salad from what he had left over: Romaine lettuce, garlic, croutons, Parmesan, boiled egg, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce (the anchovies were added a couple of years later by his brother Alex, although Caesar fiercely opposed their inclusion).  As Prohibition was in full swing in the US during the 1920s, it became quite the thing to do for the rich and famous to drive down to Tijuana to have a drink or ten and try Caesar’s new salad.  (You can even read an account by Julia Child of a childhood trip to Tijuana for the famous salad here.)  And from there, it started its steady march across America and today it is a fixture on almost every American menu.  Legend has it that Wallis Simpson was the catalyst for bringing the Caesar salad to America as she often visited Tijuana and nearby San Diego, where she is said to have met the Prince of Wales at San Diego’s Coronado Hotel.  On visits to Europe she would often demand that chefs recreate Cardini’s salad for her and soon the salad also had a following there.  It is surely one of the more iconic dishes in the world – I mean, it would have to be to have an entire book devoted to it!

Growing up in South Africa, it was unknown to me.  Restaurants back home serve French salad (a mixed salad), Greek salad (add olives and feta cheese), tuna salad (add tuna, boiled eggs and if you’re lucky, olives), cajun chicken salad (add strips of cajun-spiced chicken breast and croutons) and lately, grilled haloumi salad (add… you guessed it, grilled haloumi cheese).  But it’s only in recent years that Caesar salad appears on the menu, and even then it tends to be confined to cosmopolitan urban areas like Johannesburg and Cape Town.  I am still hard pressed to think of anywhere in Port Elizabeth that permanently features Caesar salad on their menu, and in smaller places you can usually laugh off the whole idea.  Friends who ordered a Caesar salad in Oudtshoorn got a Greek salad (see above) with croutons and Thousand Island dressing!!  And the waiter could not understand why they complained…

That said, the first time I ever had a Caesar salad was in fact in Plettenberg Bay, a tiny holiday village, but one that is frequented by enough well heeled and well travelled people that it boasts a pretty sophisticated array of shops and restaurants.  The restaurant in question was the Captain’s Cabin in my beloved Beacon Island Hotel and they made the salad properly – at your table.  I remember being fascinated by the fact that the dressing was mixed in the bowl using raw eggs and then the lettuce was shredded into the dressing to coat it.  The final product was a total revelation to me – the way salad should be, freed from the overload of ingredients that beleaguers many other salads.  From that day on I made it my mission to try any Caesar salad I see on a menu and I have become something of an expert on the matter.  It’s a bit like the roast chicken test that many people use as a litmus for judging a restaurant’s proficiency:  if a kitchen can’t turn out a decent Caesar salad full of excellent but simple ingredients, I don’t hold out much hope for the rest of the menu!

So over the years I have encountered the good, the bad, the ugly and the just plain ill-advised.  The Captain’s Cabin tableside salad was always my gold standard, but a change in ownership a few years ago has negatively affected the salad.  I don’t know whether it is that the ingredients are cheaper, or the recipe for the dressing different or what, but it just ain’t the same.  Another outstanding Caesar was enjoyed at the Hotel Le Vendome in Cape Town, served in a little parmesan tuille basket that I thought was rather wonderful.  And pretty much every Caesar that I had on our American road trip last year was excellent.  In the bad/ugly category we have:  underdressed Caesar salads; salads with rock-hard packaged croutons; salads using that hideous desiccated “Parmesan” from a packet instead of proper shavings (get this people:  if the pieces of cheese are smaller than your pinky nail they’re not shavings!!!); salads with no anchovies (I know – I may get some flak from the purists for this!); salads made with (eeeeeek) iceberg lettuce; and yukky, incorrect, inappropriate salad dressings.  And in the downright weird category, we have all the jokers who think they can improve on the original recipe by jazzing things up a bit.  A particular case I remember was the singularly odd Casear (sic) salad served at Cafe Belge in West Malling, where goat’s cheese and a sweet red onion relish had been plonked on top of an otherwise inoffensive Caesar salad.  Why, oh why??

Another of my happier Caesar salad memories is from when I first arrived in the UK and worked for a well-known soft-drink company.  I spent one of the more surreal weeks of my life cooped up at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge doing admin support for a bunch of executives who were only tangentially connected with the world you and I know as real, and caught up in the middle of a weird power struggle between a senior administrative incumbent and her imminent replacement.  I never saw the sun, I carried out bizarre requests from noon to night, I ran around the hotel with a member of housekeeping, clutching a glass of champagne and placing product samples in delegates’ rooms while they were at dinner.  And I ate like a member of the royal family.  Delectable little pastries every morning, lunch laid on every afternoon, more pastries and then drinks and snacks before the delegates headed off to dinner.   One day, the morning session overran and my immediate boss realised that there would not be time for the three course meal they had ordered.  So instead of serving a salad starter followed by a grilled salmon main, he had them serve the salmon on top of the Caesar in little salad bowls – and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.  My first salmon Caesar!

So when the weather turned hot yet again, that’s where my thoughts headed:  grilled salmon Caesar.  And that’s exactly what I made.   I am sad and embarrassed to say that I have never made my own Caesar dressing from scratch.  But I have tried a number of bottled Caesar dressings and can tell you that (of the selection that’s readily available in the UK) Hellmanns does a good job, and Paul Newman’s is also pretty good (and organic!), but the Lloyd Grossman offering is icky – all you can taste is black pepper.  However, now that I’ve done my research, next time I’ll be trying Cardini’s Caesar dressing – apparently the same recipe used by the salad’s creator Caesar Cardini!

Or maybe I’ll get a grip and make my own 😉

GRILLED SALMON CAESAR SALAD

Ingredients

1 salmon fillet portion per person

soy sauce

olive oil

honey

romaine or cos lettuce

2 slices of bread, cubed

1 clove of garlic

Parmesan cheese to shave

1 small tin anchovy fillets

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.

Mix about a tablespoon each of olive oil, soy sauce and honey and drizzle it over the fish.  Cook uncovered in the oven until just done (about 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish).

Meanwhile, cut the garlic clove in two and use each cut side to rub all over the surface of a frying pan.  Add a generous slug of olive oil to the pan and allow to warm up before adding the bread cubes.

Stir to make sure each cube is coated with oil.  Gently fry over medium heat until the croutons are browned all over.  Watch them carefully as they catch easily! Drain thoroughly on a piece of paper towel.

In a bowl, toss the lettuce, croutons, anchovy fillets, enough shaved parmesan to satisfy your particular cheese craving and a generous glug of Caesar dressing of your choice (or make your own!).  Top with the warm grilled salmon fillet, tuck in and enjoy!

    Caesar Salad…oh how I used to crave that in Cape Town. I never did find anywhere that served one.
    Funny, though, since I have been back in the Land Of The Eating have only had one Caesar. Mmmmm.

    Hi Andrew
    Yes, yes, yes! I have often wanted to do that but what does one do with 5 open bottles of open Caesar dressing in a hosue with only two people?!? A blog meet would be the ideal opportunity to do this – and since limited/no kitchen facilities woudl be needed, we can even do it at mine 😉
    Hi David
    Tsk, tsk, never happy!! Too hot, too cold… LOL! I must say I am surprised at the late burst of heat here in London – even today with it’s grey skies is still warm and a bit muggy. But let me assure you, given half a chance, I’d grab a sweater and scoot over to Paris!
    Hi ExAfrica
    Oh what a pity – I could have told you about Le Vendome’s extraordinary Caesar, or the delicious Caesar I had at the Winchester Mansions hotel in Sea Point. On the other hand, nowhere that I have come across in London serves a grilled haloumi salad, and they’re available EVERYWHERE in South Africa!

    Hi Jeanne,
    What a great idea! I’ve never thought of eating caesar salad with a side of grilled salmon! Caesar at our place is usually a cajun chicken caesar affair with croutons and extra parmesan for the housemate and no anchovies.
    I have tried Paul Newmans and Cardini’s caesar dressing and I must say I still prefer Cardini’s. Haven’t tried the Hellman’s yet, don’t think we have that in the supermarket that I go to.
    Talking of heatwave, it’s suppose to be spring here down under but it’s 30degrees in Melbourne today! but then, we get crazy weather in Melbourne all the time so I guess it’s no big deal. 🙂

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩
Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if you don't speak Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
