Love your show Big Daddy; watching you cook makes me smile. Friday I saw the episode with this recipe, the blackened salmon, the spicy Swiss chard, etc. I made the meal today, Sunday, and all I can say is OMG! Everything was delicious, easy to prepare (I'm not a novice in the kitchen, and readily available in my local grocery store. I followed the recipes for this meal exactly. I thought the blackening seasoning for the salmon would be too spicy, but it was perfect. First time I ever had swiss chard....mmmm good. Will make this again very soon.

Simply delicious-- and one of the easiest side dishes I have ever made! I only used 1 lemon and 1 tsp. of pepper, because my husband doesn't like spicy. I also substituted cream cheese for the mascarpone, just because I didn't want to spend the extra money. I was just fab!

My daughter cooked this with chicken kabobs for my Birthday last year (2011 and it was divine!!!
She substituted cream cheese for mascarpone because we could not find at our grocery!
