SALMON

Meauxbar Bistro on Rampart Street offers several entrée salads, including one topped with cold, poached salmon served with remoulade sauce and sautéed potatoes. At Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Café, try the "Prince of Tides" Jerk Salmon, one of the featured seafood favorites: the salmon is spiked with Jamaican jerk seasoning and served alongside roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. In Covington, Annadele's Plantation has a tempting soy barbecued salmon fillet with ginger tempura fried rock lobster. Fear not the dreaded Reaper nor the Salmon Mousse at Feelings Café. This delectable spread is further enhanced with the salty-sweet of caviar. For smoked salmon lovers, Hugh's Wine Cellar has the Lox Lover wrap; smoked salmon, dill spread, tomatoes, red onions, fresh mozzarella, and crisp romaine rolled up in an herb tortilla. The pan-seared salmon fillet at the Rib Room is topped with a basic beurre blanc and served with angel hair pasta. Babylon Café in the Riverbend keeps things light and simple with grilled salmon seasoned with lemon juice and spices and served on a bed of sautéed vegetables. Among the lunch specials at Phoenicia Restaurant in Metairie, you'll find the bronzed salmon kabob — marinated and grilled salmon served with hummus and rice. Nuvolari's Ristorante's salmon piccata places the fish with sauteed asparagus and a potato and is finished with a lemon-caper-butter sauce.
