Salmon with beurre Maitre D’Hotel.

Yesterday it would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday. Therefore I could not pass up the occasion to make one of her recipes.

Julia Child was an excellent chef that brought French food out of the stigma that it was “complicated and unreachable” to our table.

She most of all thought to us that cooking was fun.

To relax and enjoy the time spent in our kitchen and as a result to as well as enjoy the time we spent around the dinner table.

In the late 80 early 90’s I used love to watch her cook on her TV series. 

I have to admit I have so many, if not most, of her cookbooks, as well as the DVD.

I used to love to watch her with Jacques Pepin. The duo was perfect. 

Two great friends are having fun. Julia Child most known book “ Mastering the Art of French Cooking” is a most in every kitchen shelf.

The recipe I made tonight is adapted from one of her books “ Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home”.

The recipe asked for Halibut to be pan-grilled. I replace it with salmon and choose to oven roasted it with no butter or oil, just salt and pepper.

The Beurre Maitre D’Hotel is all Julia. 

Basmati rice with peas was just the perfect side dish.
