I actually promised myself that this Summer I’d try to set out a while for myself every day. Lately it’s savoring a perfectly sugary cocktail while you’re watching tangerine coated sunsets; those moments make me wish to savor summer forever.

I’ve also discovered that one of the best things to do would be to get a small crazy food preparation in the kitchen. It’s just like a competition with myself; just how many dishes can I make in one day time?

Last Sunday, I pulled five recipes out of my head and made it my mission to complete them all prior to the night time was more than. It’s quite possible that I looked like I was on some kind of medication; every in . of kitchen counter space was filled and my pants had about 9 different stains on them. Dough flew, marinades had been produced, and I most likely cut about 23 vegetables; it had been so much fun! No, I’m not being sarcastic.

Sometimes I believe that good things result from chaos. Just take a look at this buttery, special, melt-in-your-mouth salmon.

Mmmm I lovvveeeeeee me some seafood and the person behind the butcher counter at my neighborhood grocery store does know this for a fact. I have already been stalking him for weeks requesting when he was going to have walleye in (the Minnesota condition fish). Evidently the waters have already been as well warm in Canada so they haven’t had the opportunity to net them. Don’t you get worried though, I’ll continue steadily to ask. After all I’m practically presently there daily anyway.

Rather than walleye, he suggested I bake salmon to get a sensational summer meal. Okay… he didn’t in fact use the phrase sensational, but I sensed like that’s what he was voicing if you ask me. Anyway in an effort to make the salmon CRAZY Great, I marinated the life span from it with an asian influenced nice teriyaki sauce.

HOLY. WHAT THE… it’s SO, SO EXCELLENT. Better still than…

Well, you understand I’m uncertain what it’s much better than. It’s just really, freaking great. The marinade is simple enough to create yourself and baking salmon is like baking rooster. No really, it really is! Don’t be anxious about overdoing it, just at least test it out for for me. Quite please?! I’ll bake you cookies should you choose.

Oh, you’re convinced now? Well that was easy.

For ease, I purchased teriyaki sauce in the supermarket (soy sauce would also work), then whisked in essential olive oil, garlic, ginger and just a little honey and brownish glucose for sweetness. I poured everything on the salmon and marinated it until I got hypoglycemic starving… prefer to the idea of fainting. I wanted to eat my arm. What? Food is so much better when you’re ready to eat everything in sight.

Oh, and do not you be worried about that quinoa, because we’ve already discussed the ease of rendering it fluffy and delicious in 15 minutes or less. This time it’s prepared in a small amount of garlic clove salt for that little bit of pizzaz. All you really need to do can be stir-fry vegetables and drink a little sangria… or guzzle it, After all, whatever is most effective for you personally. I choose guzzle.

See? It isn’t complicated or frustrating. And now you should have additional time to spend time together with your honey. Or simply if the single, catch through to reality Television and pin factors on Pinterest. For me? Food shopping and butcher stalking… totally regular!

Alright time for you to get a little crazy in the kitchen. Sensational salmon can be calling your name.
