So the first week we moved in, we tried to keep things fairly simple. I hardly could find the plates, let alone the pan for the salmon.
Stir Fry Veggies with Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon
So this was a really quick meal, probably 20 minutes tops. The stir fry part was a pretty straightforward mixture of frozen veggies with some added soy and teriyaki sauce.
The salmon was a little more complicated.
The salmon was basically marinated in a sauce that I made with some local honey, ginger powder, some spices and a splash of soy.
It was chilled and marinaded for about a hour beforehand, but it could really just be used as a glaze. Finally, the salmon was oven-steamed in a foil pouch to help retain the moisture. A little extra sauce was thrown on top the last minute of cooking time.
Fresh Hamburger on toasted bun with candied caramelized onions and pasta.
This meal was more of a classic with a creative twist. The burger was formed fresh and had some Worcestershire sauce mixed with it to draw out some of the flavor.
More importantly, the onions.
The onions were first sautéed in the skillet with some course salt and pepper.
Then, I added some butter to start cooking them down a bit. If you do this, just don't burn the butter! After they had simmered for a little while I added at least 2 tablespoons of raw honey and some standard granulated sugar. Finally, I spun the skillet so that the sugar would
caramelize but not burn.
The Extras
The buns were toasted in the oven, and then I added the fixin's to the burgers. I used some fresh spinach in place of the traditional lettuce to compliment the flavors in the burger, as well as a swipe of mayo. The whole thing was garnished with a thickly sliced piece of swiss cheese (that eventually ended up on the burger).
