The new Bridget Jones movie made me think about the ex’s in my life who I continue to appreciate. So I thought I’d share an actual text exchange between me and “WW”— sent a month after we ended what was a year-long loving, fun relationship over ’bandwidth issues.” (More about him later. Probably.)
‘WW‘ was an absolutely wonderful chef and cooked for me a lot — one of the biggest gifts I got from him (and there were many) was his plank salmon recipe.
I have made this for countless dates and dinner parties and it always impresses.
Dish: WW, URGENT. I’m having friends over for dinner tomo. The basics for your plank salmon please? 🙏
WW: Okay. Soak the plank for a few hrs. Put the plank on the flame. Char it. Take the salmon. Make very deep cuts in it. Down to the skin. Rub it with lemon juice and olive oil. And any spices. I like Old Bay if I‘m short on time. Put it on the charred board. Charred side up. Put the cover down on your Green Egg and cook for 15 minutes at 375. Lower temp more time, higher less. Have fun. WWx
Dish: Thank god for you.
