Beet-Cured Salmon

I learned a similar recipe to this delicious beet-cured salmon recipe when I was in culinary school. It's fast, easy, and makes for a stunning presentation.

Makes one side of salmon (roughly 1 pound, 10 ounces, since the salmon will lose water weight)

Corn Milk and Tomato Vinaigrette

Good summer corn is a beautiful thing. Sadly, when cut corn is required for a recipe, one of the best parts often goes to waste. Instead of throwing away the cob, and the amazingly flavorful corn milk it contains, I use this recipe to throw together a healthy (and vegan friendly) dressing.

Makes About a quart
