Broiled Salmon with Stir Fry Vegetables

Hello Dear Followers,

Our dish this week turned into “anything goes” type of dish. We originally started with one vision in mind and ended up being something else entirely.

We made a broiled salmon with onions on a bed of stir fried vegetables. It was amazing. This is the first time we made salmon, because we knew we had to venture off into new territory again. And we did it!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

Salmon

Assorted vegetables – broccoli, peppers, corn, onions, mushrooms, string beans and carrots.

Soy Sauce

Assorted seasonings – We used Adobo, salt, pepper, garlic salt and everyday seasoning for the salmon.

Olive Oil

Butter

Instructions:

Chop up the vegetables with the exception of the green beans (cut off only the tips) and broccoli (cut the stems off the broccoli). Onions chopped long ways, carrots should be sliced thin.

Steam the broccoli first.

Saute the mushrooms with butter in a pan.

Once all of that is done, put the vegetables together in a wok and add salt, pepper and soy sauce.

For the salmon:

Drizzle the pan with olive oil. Add the salmon and chopped onions. Put seasonings. Place in the oven on low broil (cover it!) Let it cook for about 20-30 minutes.

Once the vegetables are stir fried, place it on a plate and then place the salmon on top. Voila!

For side dishes: We made rice and a tomato and cucumber salad. The salad was mixed with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar.

Spicy Thai Noodle Salad

Hello Dear Followers,

The week is in full swing and we were ready to make tonight’s dish. We have been aiming to broaden our horizons with the dishes we make and tonight we definitely did it.

We made a Spicy Thai Noodle Salad. A recipe in which we got from our friend Latoya, who is a fabulous cook and someone we knew from our days in middle school.

The dish was very good. It had a wide array of vegetables and spices that awakened all of your senses with just one bite. What we loved most about this dish was the rich peanut sauce that was infused throughout.

This year as we mentioned, we are aiming to try different dishes, go a bit out of our comfort zones whether it’s recipes we’ve made or have been given to us by others.

Here is the recipe for tonight’s dish:

Peanut Sauce:

Ginger – You will need about three quarter sized pieces. It was recommended to us to buy ginger paste, we just bought regular ginger and crushed it.

1 tablespoon of cilantro.

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter

1/4 cup of orange juice or if you have it, rice or white vinegar. We agree with the original recipe, use orange juice.

The juice of one lime

2 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce

3 tablespoons of honey (or brown sugar will work too)

3 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil (if you have peanut oil, that works too).

1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon of salt

A pinch of black pepper

1/4 of teaspoon of paprika – you can use either this or just the black pepper, entirely up to you! The flavor gives it a nice kick!

Combine the ingredients in a blender.

Pasta Salad

1/2 box of linguini ( we did it with 2 boxes of Pad Thai Rice Noodles, we actually realized we should have used the linguini.) Boil the linguini until al dente

1/2 red pepper (Cut in half and another half horizontally and then in thin strips vertically. You can do a quarter yellow and a quarter red, depending on how colorful you want to go.)

1-2 radishes cut into thin slices

1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced (for more kick, we ended up not using this ingredient because this was spicy enough, entirely up to you!)

2 cups of regular and red cabbage shredded

1/2 cup of shredded carrot

1 small handful of cilantro (chopped)

1 handful of kale for some extra healthy!

2 scallions diced

1/4 cup of crushed peanuts

A dash of coarse black pepper

A dash of red pepper flakes

Garnish with sesame seeds and a slice of lime.

Combine these ingredients in a good size mixing bowl with the peanut sauce. There will be extra sauce left behind.

Sidenote from Latoya: The peanut sauce is good with Chicken Satay.

This dish had a good amount of spice in it and really was something different for both us to try. We definitely enjoyed it!

Until next week!
