So, in his letter this week, Cody told everyone that he had salmon at a member's house in Ukraine, but that mine is better. Although I was flattered, it also made me realize that I don't cook anymore since I have no one to cook for! I better get back in practice before he gets home!
So tonight, I made salmon for my roomie Kim & I. I purposely did not use a recipe to see if I could do it from memory, and I don't really have my kitchen staples hanging around because I am a vagabond and don't have my own kitchen, so I had to just use what Kim has. Surprisingly it still turned out pretty good. It's like 90 degrees outside (and in the apartment until I turned the air on) so it wasn't the best night to make a hot meal, but I'm busy every other night.
Season the salmon...I use dill, olive oil, garlic, lemon and onion
Make a tent with foil - a piece on the bottom, a piece on the top, edges crimped together with space inside for steam to circulate. Spray the foil with non-stick spray first.
Have you used these yet? Amazing! Zip 'n' steam bags. I usually have asparagus with salmon, but it wasn't on sale, so I got zuccini, my second favorite.
Kim doesn't have a potato masher! This spoon worked...I like my potatoes lumpy. I use herb cream cheese and milk for flavor.
It only takes about 12 minutes in a 400 degree oven...the salmon should be light pink, barely cooked.
Viola! A humble yet delicious spread.
Kim cleaned her plate...I didn't. It's always hard for me to eat after I've just cooked it. Weird, I know. It was pretty good...I hope that Cody thinks so too when he gets back!
