Hey everyone! I always have the best time with friends going to Cinespia film viewings each summer at Hollywood forever cemetery in Hollywood! Outdoor movie showings bring out the kid in me… Blankets, pillows and the stars above… And below us lol, sorry, dead celebrity humor- but its a great way to spend time with friends and make new ones through food and wine, or your favorite drink! This trip we saw cat on a hot tin roof starring Liz Taylor! I made a wonderful slow roasted salmon with olive oil rub kosher salt, cumin, paprika, garlic, on a bed of fresh thyme, lemon, basil, topped with brown sugar, oregano, and a little cayenne pepper for bite. Placing the fresh fish filet on top of fresh herbs and citrus draws the flavors up through the fish as it cooks and prevents them from burning.
To accompany this dish I made fresh Rosemary baguette… Fresh yeast, salt, bread flour cut with spelt flour, water and some sugar… Didn’t have white so I used brown… Was delicious!! Then we had plenty of wine to go around!!! It was a great night with amazing friends and food….
Cinespia films each weekend at Hollywood Forever Cemetary is a great time for food and wine!!
