Here are a few main dish ideas I have:
- Chicken breast stuffed with spinach, gorgonzola, habanero, cream cheese, and grapes.
- Pan seared salmon with cranberries.
- Some kind of pork with watermelon salad.
- Tilapia or mahi-mahi with plantains and spice rum.
- T-bone steak with radishes
- Baked oysters
Obviously they aren't complete by any means. They're just a couple main ingredients to work with.
Sides would also need to be thought of.
I've never had salmon with cranberries. Have you gone this route before? Sounds interesting.
I just started curing a nice piece of salmon for a couple days so we'll see how that goes. Standard curing process but added a decent amount of fresh dill on top. Planning to serve it with some rye bread and radishes to go alongside a potato salad with caraway seeds to hopefully tie it all together.
Edit: Pork with a watermelon salad sounds great too. Would be pretty good to do a whole pork loin with some sort of acidity (mustard?) to cut the sweetness of the salad. I think a well cooked pork loin is one of the best cuts of meat. So delicious.
