Now that Tuesday’s revelry is behind us, it’s time to slow it down a bit. Gastronomically speaking, that is. Today marks the day that many begin a period of fasting and sacrifice. Most choose to give up the one thing they enjoy the most: chocolate, cheese, alcohol, bacon (say it isn’t so), red meat …

One advantage that comes from practicing restraint is that you learn to find satisfaction in the simplest of things. I’d even venture to say that you discover great pleasure in them, but then that might negate the whole “restraint” and “sacrifice” aspect of it.

Here’s one delicious-looking recipe that’ll hopefully make it to your menu. It has the simplest ingredients: salmon, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Just a few basic flavors that all work together to make one incredible meal. Squeeze some fresh lemon over it, and you’ve got a satisfying dish that won’t leave you missing anything.
