I’m wrapping up Hoboken week with my favorite place to buy fish from – Tutta Pesca. They sell fish in their downstairs retail space and you can enjoy it cooked for you upstairs in their amazing restaurant.

While they have so many dishes I love, my favorite is their simple, yet complex flavored pan-seared salmon. It’s BURSTING with the most amazing flavors and they really know how to cook fish properly. It’s served with roasted potatoes and spinach, but I had something slightly different in store for mine….

…I channeled the lemon, artichoke and olive oil flavors from Italy and made a sunny salmon dish I couldn’t stop eating the second I took my first bite. The fish was so tender and cooked perfectly.

I loved taking you on my food adventures through Hoboken and hope you liked some (maybe all!) the dishes. Try some and let me know what you think!
