ING-salmon-filet-2_sqlFrom Jim Davidson’s kitchen to yours! This month he is showing us how to make salmon stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, one of Sherry Davidson’s favorites! If you are a resident of our St. Augustine golf course community, he recommends running up to Kyle’s Seafood off of US1to get the best salmon filets.

Salmon Stuffed with Goat Cheese & Fresh Spinach

Buy large salmon filets boned and skinned (I purchase ½ of the whole salmon and cut it into steaks 3”- 4” wide). Make sure the fish market pulls all the rib bones out of the meat.

Make a thick mixture of goat cheese (garlic or herb encrusted) and fresh spinach. Mixture should be very thick.

Rub each filet with olive oil and cut a small slice in the side of each filet to create a pocket for the stuffing mixture. Insert about 3 tablespoons of the goat cheese and fresh spinach mixture into each filet.

Completely wrap each filet in a pastry strip then baste the top of each pastry wrapped filet with egg wash (lightly whipped egg whites). Publix sells the pastry in the frozen section. Make sure to thoroughly thaw the pastry before use. Bake at 325° for 30 minutes until pastry is brown. While the salmon is cooking, I heat up a can of lobster bisque.

To serve put ¼ cup of lobster bisque on plate, put salmon on top of bisque, then put another ¼ cup of bisque on top of salmon. Serve with any type of paste (I like pasta with clam sauce and, of course, I used to enjoy a nice bottle of white wine!)

From Jim Davidson’s Kitchen: Snapper Fromage

IMG_5326Last month, Jim Davidson, Master Developer of our favorite Jacksonville golf course community, shared his amazing meatloaf dish with us. This month, he is sharing my favorite dish he makes! It’s a bit more complicated, but totally worth it in deliciousness! Prepare to salivate:

Snapper Fromage (4-6 People)

5 Egg yolks whipped until frothy, add 2/3 jar of Kraft Mayonnaise, mix thoroughly.

Add 6-8 packages of fresh grated parmesan cheese until mixture is very thick, it should almost be like a thick paste.

I buy pink snapper if possible for this dish, but Red Snapper will do. You want the fish market to filet and debone the fish.

Prepare fish by cutting shoulders from belly side and trim off dark meat vein. Fish pieces should be 1/2” to 3/4” thick. You can stack belly-side pieces to achieve desired thickness. Wash fish filets and pat dry; put on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam non-stick spray. Put layer of fromage sauce about 1/4” thick over each filet. You can refrigerate the fish, once prepared, for 2-3 hours prior to cooking. Put in pre-heated oven at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes and then broil until brown. (BE CAREFUL – it is easy to burn fromage sauce). Take out of oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes prior to serving. I serve with pasta (linguine) and clam sauce.

 *Note: The fromage sauce may also be used on chicken breast.

Jim Davidson Sees Historical Parallels in Real Estate Market’s Ups & Downs

Jim Davidson web CJim Davidson, Master Developer of World Golf Village, has been through tough real estate markets before. In fact, he finds the parallels between the real estate market woes of the 1970s and today especially compelling.  Back then, his no-nonsense, analytical approach to value assessment and debt-to-equity balancing helped real estate developers navigate through tough times. That same approach has ensured Davidson Development’s ongoing success even through recent tough times.  It’s also sought after by other developers who consult Davidson to fix their own balance sheets. According to Davidson, “Everyone knows the real estate industry has cycles. That’s no secret.  The key is realizing that every new cycle is a game changer. So you must be able to look at every project with a fresh, focused eye.” Read more
