The flavors came together remarkably, but the presentation wasn't superb. The cake, too, although tasty, didn't have the high-market appeal I was looking for. Okay, I wasn't aiming that high for plating, but I was looking for fancy-smancy to the best degree possible.
To be honest, it could have come out absolutely horrible, but it did serve a semblance of familiarity and was delicious. I wanted the maple flavor and achieved that, and I have to say the quinoa with cranberries mixed with salmon, squash, and spinach was wonderful together. I would definitely try this dish again, especially knowing I have much more maple glaze than I used and I could have double the sized of the salmon.
Not bad for a Friday night meal to end a frantic work-week.
Now for a tropical storm, indoor activities, reading, and getting ahead for courses for the week. I'm thinking now of carrots, however, and how they would have tasted great with the medley.
Alas, I'm moving on. Hoping for rest, calm, and rejuvenation. It's the least I can ask for.
