7. My daughter and I love salmon.

On a visit to California about 30 years ago, my wife got sick as a dog and blamed the salmon we ate for dinner. I thought then and think now she caught a flu bug; I got it myself and suffered incredibly on the flight home (on a plane is the absolute worst place to have a flu!). Nevertheless, she contends to this day that she's allergic to salmon. She's ever so stubborn about some things.

Anyway, salmon is a great idea but unfortunately it doesn't work. I like to make it en papillote, baked in a parchment pouch. I put thinly sliced celery and onions on the bottom, a nice fillet of salmon on top of that, some kosher salt and seasoning, and top it with butter and lemon slices. 20 minutes at 400 degrees and serve on a bed of rice, and it's awesome. But the wife won't eat it and I'd like to make something all three of us will eat.
