Ok, bear with me here, because I think Taylor was thinking the exact same thing you are thinking right now. Salmon, cantaloupe, and, uh, horseradish? Weird, weird, double weird. Taylor gave me one of those looks that said, "are you nuts?" To be honest, when I picked this recipe my only thought was "celery leaves! we have a ton and this recipe actually calls for celery leaves!" I didn't even stop to ponder just what it might taste like. And so on to the menu it went. I don't know what sort of illegal substance or hocus pocus was involved to think up such a bamboozling combination of ingredients, but you know what? It worked. It really did. It was bright and fresh. Downright summery. It was crunchy and tender and flaky all at the same time. Puzzling, yet fantastically tasty.
