Food-gasm

Thank you to the amazing morning crew at Good Day Sacramento for having us on this morning. With Mike's help we discovered we want our food to be sexy! We had a great time getting to cook for the cast and are thankful for the chance to plug The Mama Bear Foundation.

Salmon Bites with Chimichurri Sauce

Pancetta Wrapped Salmon Bites
1 1/4 lb of fresh, skinless salmon filets
2 packages of precut pancetta (about 20 slices)


Cut salmon fillets into 1 1/4 inch pieces.
Wrap a piece of thinly sliced pancetta around each salmon bite.


On a preheated, cast iron skillet place each pancetta wrapped bite, flap side down.
Sear on all sides until pancetta is cooked.


Dunk in chimichurri sauce and enjoy your "food-gasm".

Chimichurri Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
l cup (packed) parsley
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Zest of 1/2 of a lemon
Juice from 1 lemon
Put all the ingredients in the blender and blend until everything is mixed together. The sauce is best if it has a chance to sit in the refrigerator for several hours. Stir well before serving.
