Salmon and fancy mash

Really proud of this one. My signature salmon with some shrimp; and mashed broccoli, cauliflower, and potatoes. Makes broccoli a lot more fun to eat. 

 

Smoked salmon sandwiches!

With capers. And smoked salmon cream cheese. 

 

Glazed salmon

Honey garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce

Honey

Garlic

Salmon

Farmed salmon, smoked salmon cream cheese, broccoli/cauliflower, and Kraft dinner pasta for fun. 

Salmon and mushrooms

I finally acquired that smoked salmon cream cheese and made salmon. 

Salmon patties

They weren't that good :(

If doing anything salmon, I'd suggest actual salmon. 

Salmon variation

Basic salmon

With a sick husband, I was trying to cook foods that were easy to eat with only a fork, and without needing to chase them around the plate with one hand. Plus, I wanted the food to be healthy, and delicious, to pick up his spirits. 

He loves my honey garlic salmon, and baby potatoes complement it perfectly. Plus, all of those are easy to stab with a fork. 

An old favourite

Salmon (honey garlic), shrimp and veggies. I desperately wished I had some smoked salmon cream cheese, but my store never carries it. 

Only the most amazing dinner ever

This was so, so, so delicious. And of course I can't remember why. I don't think this is a unique meal I've made (I'm obviously a fan of salmon), but this was just stellar. 

I think it was because I added the scallops to the mushrooms. And used a generous amount of cheese in the beans. Because, you know, cheese. 

The red stuff is smoked paprika, my most favourite spice ever. The sauce was made from smoked salmon cream cheese. My most favourite cream cheese ever.

Restaurant meal

Blackened salmon with mango chutney, rice, vegs. 

My standard meal at this restaurant. It's always good. 

Cheat

I think these are salmon bits stuffed with crab. It looked good; I'm sure it was. 

This is from some backed-up version of photos from a couple of years ago. 

Salmon. Again.

I liked the previous salmon so much, I made it again. This time, I got the salmon at Safeway. It was much better and thicker, but also more expensive.

On a whim, I threw in shrimp as well. Sauce: honey, garlic, hoisin and soy.

That generated a lot of water, so I mixed it into the mashed potatoes. And added smoked paprika to the potatoes - that was just perfect.

Best salmon recipe

I've been craving this salmon for a long time, but have been foiled every time by other delicious looking food items that I purchased instead.

Finally, I decided that the craving had to be satisfied. Sadly, the Sobeys salmon disappointed me gravely. The superstore salmons are about ten times better - no kidding. Costco salmons aren't usually very good, but they're golden compared to the Sobeys salmon I was unfortunate enough to endure.

ANYWAY

Honey, hoisin sauce, a touch of soy sauce, minced garlic. Mix in a cup. Throw the salmon on a pan, cook halfway, turn, pour the sauce mixture. After a couple minutes, cover with a lid. The whole thing cooks on medium heat.

The result is ridiculously delicious. The honey glazes the fish and caramelizes on top, and the garlic adds a spicy touch. The hoisin sauce envelopes the salmon and brings all the flavours together.

Of note: thin sliced salmon works poorly. The thicker the better (ie superstore, not Sobeys). Skins are ok because they prevent burning. Although salmon with skin on works better on a barbeque (I seriously need to buy me a BBQ).

The result: heaven in your mouth.
