Georgian Baked Salmon
"My friend David made this up using his basic plan for baking fish adding some Svaneti salt as the only seasoning. Svaneti salt is from East Europian Georgia. It is a blend of Caraway seeds, Coriander, Fenugreek, Tellicherry Black Pepper, Garlic, and Aleppo Chilies all ground and mixed with Sea Salt. www.worldspice.com carries it. David claims this works really well with almost any fish. He's a great cook so I believe him."

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace.
Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy)
My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal.
I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
