This stunning whole foods recipe for wild salmon Provencal is equally good for entertaining or a family dinner. The southern French flavors of tomatoes, olives, anchovies and herbs create a fantastic backdrop for any firm fleshed fish or shellfish. The fish is simmered in the sauce and is infused with the scent and flavor of herbs, garlic and tomato. We like this fragrant, assertive dish with a simple pilaf or steamed rice and a bright green vegetable, which make a gentle –and pretty- contrast of flavors and colors. If you are entertaining, great starters include soups such as Roasted Corn Soup with Jalapeno and Cilantro, summery Chilled Avocado Soup with Chives and Herbs, or Creamy Vegan Summer Squash Soup with Dill; or salads such as Frisee, Arugula and Artichoke Heart Salad, earthy Roasted Asparagus on Greens with Chevre and Toasted Walnuts, or palate cleansing Provencal Carrot Salad perched atop baby greens.
