THIS WEEK: Rubbed Atlantic Salmon Pan Flashed with Caineville Greens, Crab Flautas & Tomato Fondue from Café Diablo in Torrey, Utah

We love it when we get great recommendations and here's one suggested by Shauna B. Here's what she had to say about Café Diablo: “The sign on the door reads, ‘Fast Food is not served here. Good food takes times, please be patient.’” This recipe for Rubbed Atlantic Salmon Pan Flashed with Caineville Greens, Crab Flautas and Tomato Fondue was written down just for us to share with you since Chef Pankow cooks his innovative Southwestern dishes without measuring spoons or cups. Located in Torrey, Utah, Café Diablo is nestled along Utah's scenic Highway 24, a 20-minute drive from mountaintop fishing, isolated lakes, and red cliff shelves overseeing desert vistas. So, you have plenty to do when you're not eating.
