Saimin salmon salad

Posted by Gary

Today was the last day of my holiday. For dinner I thought back to a lunch I had in Hawaii, viz., a saimin burger and went about making a saimin salmon salad for dinner tonight. 

In case you’re interested, I cooked the noodles in hot water and then fried them in egg rings. I added a little olive oil, soy sauce, Tabasco sauce and maple syrup.

I spent my last day of my holiday at home cleaning up and unpacking, washing more clothes and catching up on personal e-mails. I also went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and shot some photographs.

Have you ever eaten saimin salmon salad?

 

Super Saturday salmon sandwiches

Posted by Gary

Today I ended up have salmon sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Who would have thought I’d ever do that?

I basically repeated breakfast and lunch but changed the carbohydrate from a quinoa pane di casa to a poppy seed bagel. For dinner I had the last quinoa pane di casa and cooked some salmon. All three salmon sandwiches were essentially the same with minor variations. 

Tomorrow is Sunday. Will there be salmon on Sunday?

This was a nice light breakfast and it had quinoa

I went and bought some dill especially today after breakfast because salmon needs dill.

The big difference for dinner was adding the potato gems. I love potato gems.

 

This afternoon I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and shot some photographs.
