I was in Las Vegas last week on a business trip. A vendor took me out to dinner at Onda Ristorante at the Mirage. This was my meal (after appetizers of green olive and sun-dried tomato tapanades, mussels and caprese salad).
Salmon Saltimbocca served with tuscan white beans and lemon butter sauce
Although I could have used another piece of prosciutto wrapped around that filet (of course), the salmon was tender and flaky… cooked perfectly. I’m a huge fan of citrus - so the sauce could have been heavier on the lemon flavor to boost the tang. Overall I was pleased with the meal though. Nice restaurant, quaint atmosphere and pretty good food. I recommend it!
