Tuscany meets Alaska

From Alex Papasavas

Turkey Red

This recipe is what happened when Tuscany met Alaska.

Franco, from Tuscany, and Alex (aka the Lemon Queen) were playing in the kitchen and threw together these Tuscan ingredients with wild-caught salmon lox. Of course the finishing touch that made the dish was the juice of a fresh lemon. Franco may not agree but he is not writing this, I am, the Lemon Queen.

Salmon White Bean Salad

1/2 red onion diced small

2 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 1/2 ounces salmon lox cut into 1/2 inch pieces

12 basil leaves sliced thin

Juice of 1 lemon

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Put it into one bowl and mix it all together.

It is nice as a snack, appetizer or light lunch when served with a salad and good bread.
