Salmon Ochazuke + Quick Japanese Cucumber Salad

 

I recently bought a new kettle/teapot and I've been in tea heaven! I love tea and I used to have an old metal kettle which started rusting, believe it or not, so I went shopping on Amazon and saw an awesome glass kettle. It now doubles as both my kettle and teapot (since I prefer loose tea) and I've been sipping tea all day long on a daily basis this week.

Honey Lemon Salmon

Tonight was store bought taco night---Baja Fresh to be precise.  My freezer is running low.  It’s been about a month since I did my last big shopping. 

Baked Spicy Miso Mayo Salmon

Eating fish for me is like treading on eggshells (as I'd explained in my other salmon post). I'm a picky fish eater and have to choose my fish dishes carefully. I do want to love fish though and be able to eat more varieties of it cooked in different ways. It's just hard for me to venture out of my comfort zone with fish. For now, I'll stick to just cooking salmon. However, I'm going to try new ways of preparing it. Baby steps, I say. Baby steps.

Shoyu Sesame Salmon (SSS)

A good friend of ours served us this dish a while back during a casual dinner get together. Believe me, I was the last one to get up from the table and I politely asked him if I could finish the remaining salmon. Because I loved it so much I named the recipe after him. But to protect his privacy, I decided to call it SSS, which represents the main ingredients for this recipe. Shoyu is soy sauce in Japanese, Sesame for the oil that is part of this recipe, and of course Salmon. If you want to have a simple Asian meal, you can't go wrong with this. You can complement it with miso soup, steam rice or sushi, and maybe green tea ice cream for dessert. I'm pretty sure I give my friend's recipe justice here.

Super Simple Salmon

Fish and I have always had a bad relationship. It stems from early childhood when, from the time I was a toddler, I was fed fish porridge/congee for lunch (and possibly dinner) EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I absolutely detested it because it had a very fishy flavor and being toddler food, probably had no salt in it. Flavorless and fishy. Oh, it was vile. Don't do this to your kids, folks. It'll scar them for all or part of their life. I'm living proof.
