We were given this delicious salmon on Monday by Chris' grandpa who just got back from a fishing trip. Yep, he caught it himself!
For this oh-so-simple dinner I didn't fuss with complicated ingredients. I just used some pantry staples.
Preheat the oven at 400 degrees
In a medium bowl, combine the following ingredients~
4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
2-3 gloves chopped garlic
2 tsp sesame seeds
a dash of crushed red pepper
a dribble of chile oil (optional)
Place steaks (4 oz. each) in an oven safe dish, then pour the mixture over the fish. Cover the dish with a lid (or aluminum foil in you don't have a lid). Place in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes. Voila!
I served this with a side salad and couscous.
I tried to keep the rest of the meal simple since the main course had so much flavor and garlicky bite!
Lately, I have had so many books on my "to-read list", but I can never find the time to get them all read, let alone the concentration to finish one book before I begin another! My goal for the rest of the year is to get all of them read. We'll see:) I have currently just begun Blue Like Jazz (which I read a few years ago and really enjoyed). Also on my nightstand is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book I started several times in college but failed to finish. A few others on my list include: Those Who Save Us, Undomestic Goddess (which I am halfway through), Julia Childs autobiography and I would like to get in Redeeming Love this year (one of my all-time favorites that I like to read at least once a year). I would also like to track down A Severe Mercy because I have heard raving reviews about it from several friends. The list may seem hefty, but I have a plan...I'm trying the whole, read before I go to bed thing and it's been pretty successful so far:)
Got any other reading suggestions I can add to my constantly growing list?
I love to read. You should join good reads! www.goodreads.com. Its a great way to share reading suggestions with your friends.
ReplyDeleteThe Undomestic Goddess is a fantastic read, so I'm sure you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteI would pretty much recommend anything by Sophie Kinsella or Madeline Wickham (same person, different pen names, so slightly different writing style). And the book Confessions of a Shopaholic is so much better than the movie!
