Hostess Gifts…No Cooking Required!
During the holiday season Kathy and I are invited to many parties around town. These parties usually happen on Saturday nights. Saturdays are hectic for me since I am racing around from my radio show with Tom Douglas, then coming back to Rover’s for dinner service. Here are three foolproof ways to become a Hostess Gift-Giving Rockstar!
Salmon Sashimi with Argan Oil and Lemon
2 pounds sushi-grade salmon fillets, skin removed
2 tablespoons argan oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Sea salt
Cracked white pepper
Slice the salmon, against the grain, as thin as possible. Arrange on a platter. In a small bowl, combine argan oil and lemon juice. Lightly brush the argan oil and lemon juice mixture onto the salmon. Season with sea salt and cracked white pepper.
Chef Note: I find the best sushi-grade salmon at Mutual Fish Company in Seattle. Argan oil and sea salt can be bought online.

Begin your party with this apéritif cocktail, supposed to stimulate the appetite!

Combine gin, vermouth, and Campari in a clear jar or pitcher. Stir to combine. Seal tightly, put in your trunk for transport. Enjoy responsibly!
