husband-is-away dinner #45

When he’s away I like to make dinners that he doesn’t care for. I say “doesn’t care for” because, really, he’ll eat anything I make. But fish is not high on his favorite foods list.

This is one of my favorites and is totally easy! I marinate the salmon in:

• soy sauce
• rice wine vinegar
• garlic
• ginger
• lime juice

Next, I grill it, skin side down. (let’s face it, I grill everything!) Meanwhile, I cook some jasmine rice. I quickly sauté some veggies in a skillet (sometimes I steam them by throwing them on top of the rice 1/2 way thru cooking.) This time I did broccoli, carrots and green onions — all from the farmer’s market.

When the veggies are 1/2 way cooked, I pour some coconut milk in the pan with them. While stirring, I add about 2 Tbs of curry. I usually toss in a few dashes of cayenne to my curry since it’s from the grocery store and doesn’t have much kick.

Last, but not least, I cover it with salt before I eat it. I’m not sure why, but I feel it needs it. mmmm, so good!!

    Gorgeous.

    What other kind of veggies can you steam by tossing in with the rice? What a great idea.
