QUICK BITE: More great bites from Earth and Ocean

We had one more dinner at Earth and Ocean last night.  Had two amazing dishes. The first was roasted salmon with lentils. 

The salmon was cooked perfectly medium rare with some crispy skin.   And it was served on top of lentils that had been cooked with port wine.  The lentils has a bit of a peppery kick to them.  So flavorful and creamy.  

Also had the best dish (so far) on this sailing. This was roasted cauliflower. 

If you have followed this blog for awhile, you might remember a similar dish we had on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady in October 2021. That dish was terribly executed. The cauliflower was raw and lacked seasoning. Virgin Voyages needs to take a look at how cauliflower should be cooked. 

The thick slice of cauliflower had first been put into a smoker.  Then seasoned and roasted.  Then it came topped with a pomegranate vinaigrette, capers and some other roasted vegetables including peppers.   Wow!!   What great flavor from the smoke balanced with the sweetness from pomegranate and saltiness of the capers.  This dish had everything.
