Saturday Recipe

I posted this recipe last year. Then, having posted the recipe yesterday with Thai Sweet Chili, not having the ingredients in house, I mixed some raw honey with some Tabasco and vinegar as below plus the sesame oil and added it to the parcel of fish. It worked very well and we both enjoyed it.

Ginger Sesame Salmon

"Salmon and grated ginger with sesame oil are cooked on a bed of chopped carrots, then served on 

fresh spinach leaves."

4 thin onion slices, separated into rings
2 sheets (12x18-inches each) Reynolds Wrap(R) Non-Stick Foil
2 medium carrots, cut into julienne strips or shredded
4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, thawed
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 Tbs seasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh spinach leaves

1. Preheat oven to 450°F or grill to medium-high.

2. Center one-fourth of onion slices and carrots on each sheet of Reynolds Wrap(R) Non-Stick Foil. Top with salmon. Sprinkle with ginger; drizzle with vinegar and oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make four packets.

4. Bake 16 to 20 minutes on a cookie sheet in oven.

5. OR grill 14 to 16 minutes in covered grill.

6. Serve salmon and carrots on a bed of spinach. Sprinkle with additional seasoned rice vinegar, if desired.

Have a great weekend
 

Printer, Bowling

Damn and blast, my printer packed up on Sunday morning. I thought it wanted a new cartridge but

even with replacements it wouldn't work - it is attempting to print but a page gets a bit of colour and a bit of black but not much of anything. It is a Hewlett Packard and I tried getting answers or help on their site, not much luck there. If I have to replace it, I will probably go back to a Canon. HP charges an arm and a leg for their ink cartridges. Hm, checking it out, I don't think Canon cartidges are cheap any more. I can get a printer/scanner for about $50 but the ink would cost $64!!!!

Friday we went to another local bowling alley, Victoria Bowl, (our usual one is having the lanes dressed) and discovered they have installed synthetic lanes. We have bowled on them before - they seem a tad noisy, but I don't find them too bad. Matt decided he hated them but that was because he had lousy games - except the first one. We will be going back there today, Monday, and again later in the week. The following week our usual alley should be open again. Although it costs a lot of money to install synthetic lanes, the owner told me he will not have to have them dressed every year which does cost a fortune, so in the end he will save money. The owner of Victoria is a fairly new owner and seems to be spending a lot of money on the place. I might say I bowled three really good games - the alleys or me?

I cooked this on Friday for supper and we both enjoyed it. I love foil wrapped cooking, saves on cleanup. I don't carry seasoned rice vinegar so added seasonings to my white wine vinegar.
