Two incarnations of the same salmon

Posted in Food, Main Course, Recipes, Side Dishes on August 26th, 2009 by monicajane

Paul brought home some wild salmon yesterday. I made a goopy paste to go on top of it before baking it. It contained:

Tamari
Mustard (the condiment–the one that is heavy on the seeds and spicy)
Ginger
Garlic powder
Dried Dill Weed

It turned out looking awful! Keep on moving through this post, the second life of this fish was attractive and yummy.

It didn’t actually taste all that good either. We ate only about 1/3 of it last night.

So today I made a salad with the leftover. It turned out much more delicious in it’s second life.

The salad contained:

Remainder of the baked salmon in shreds
Brown rice
Lots of fresh parsley from the garden
a heaping tbls of Capers
a quarter red onion sliced in halves
Balsamic Vinegar to taste
Tamari to taste
Olive oil to taste

Yummy and not bad to look at this time around:

    Your salad looks great! Plus there is nothing like taking left overs and turning it into another dish.

    When it comes to salad, I’m a very basic kinda guy. Whenever you make the dishes, they look like meals in and of themselves AND they look great. I’m picky, I admit it but with your salads I could dig right in.

    Heh, I hate it when I make something and it doesn’t turn out well. But it’s awesome when you can then rescue it and make something good! Great job. :)
