I’m back! This weekend was a whirlwind but I think I am finally going to be able to start posting again. Yesterday we delivered the project I have been working on for the last few months and work will finally be going back to normal until after Christmas. I just can’t seem to cook anything blogworthy when I am working 11 hour days. (Anyone want to see 12 different ways to melt cheese on bread and arrange baby carrots beside it on a plate?) There are so many bloggers who make it work, but I still haven’t quite figured out how.
In addition to finishing the work project yesterday I ran my first race (a 10K) this morning. It has been a goal of mine to do a 5K since I started running back in August, however since I missed the opportunity to do a 5 in October I challenged myself to skip right to the 10. It was scary, hard and thrilling to finish. I was really pleased with my time of 1:03, next time I know I can get it in under an hour.
To celebrate my life returning to normal I flipped through Bonnie Stern’s Heart Smart cookbook this afternoon and found a recipe for an asian marinated salmon on greens that sounded wonderful and it was indeed really yummy over some light spring greens. The picture isn’t great, I tried to take a picture when it was all beautiful and green after it had marinated but my camera was out of batteries. This picture isn’t quite as nice but trust me, it’s yummy!
(serves 6)
1 clove garlic
1 bunch cilantro
2T hoisin sauce
1T fish sauce
1T rice wine vinegar
1/2 small lime juiced
6 portions of salmon fillets
In a food processor pulse garlic then add cilantro, you can add the stems too. Pulse until minced then add remaining ingredients and process. Put salmon in a marinating container and cover with sauce. Put in the fridge for 20 minutes. Heat oven to 425 and transfer salmon to a parchment lined roasting tin or cookie sheet. Cook for 10-14 minutes or until medium rare. Serve over lightly dressed greens.
Hint: I added a bit of olive oil to what was left in a the food processor and just tossed my greens in that!
