Panko crusted baked salmon with quinoa rice and kale plus what I ate today

It’s a Monday and the start of new work week. I was meant to be in Sydney for a meeting but decided to stay in Canberra and join by teleconference so I could handle a load of other work. Over my lunch break as I was enjoying a light smoked salmon and lettuce snack I pondered tonight’s Panko crusted baked salmon with quinoa rice and kale.

It’s been a few months since I’ve cooked with panko crumbs so my mouth was watering as this was cooking.

So this is how I cooked my Panko crusted baked salmon tonight. I like that I was able to incorporate healthful additions like quinoa and kale. The whole meal had a great combination of flavour and crunchy texture. I know some people have said they dislike kale, but when it’s wilted and cooked in a little oil in a nonstick frying pan it takes on the flavours of the other foods it’s cooked with. In this case the chili and capsicum.
