Foodie post

Yesterday I had honey sesame baked salmon. It was delish-ious, but I had a fever and no appetite that I had to force it down.
Damnit. The one time I decide to splurge and buy Young's super fatty, yummilicious, rich-in-Omega-3 melt-in-your-mouth salmon, I takde appetite. Grrrrr...

I had two fillets in a pack, marinated them together, but cooked them at different times, the Jack Daniels glazed one on the day before yesterday, and yesterday, the honey baked salmon. The Jack Daniels glazed salmon was *orgasm*.

Can you see that beautiful white marbled fat? Omigod, it was oh so heavenly. Super filling as well, had that for lunch, and there was no need for proper dinner after that (okay, I had two snickers bar for dinner, hehe)

Okay, recipe perfected liao. The next day, the thought of having more Jack Daniels salmon made me a bit sick, so racked my head (and supply cabinet) to see what I could do with it.

Aha! Found a pack of sesame seeds and a tiny jar of honey I took from Sheraton Belgravia the last time I stayed there. Washed Jack Daniels marinate off the salmon, glazed it with honey and coated it with sesame seeds. Then wrapped it in a foil and baked it.

Easy, simple, 20 minutes to cook meal.

Then had this incredible craving for vanilla ice cream. Realised that I was out of vanilla ice cream. Went around house to house like some Jehovah Witness apostate asking anyone if they had vanilla ice cream, but no one did.

And Aisyah remarked, "Eh, bukan you nak diet ke?"

Oops. Thanks for reminding me about my ever expanding waistline. Heh.

Unperturbed, I decided to WALK to Asda at 8 o'clock in the evening, knowing fully well it would be sundown soon. Made it back by 9pm.

All for the sake of vanilla ice cream. Can you believe it?

And today Prema and I decided to get on with our walking fitness/lets see what I can pick up at Asda programme. And guess what? I picked up a pack of 10 snacksize Snickers bar.

I think I'm trying to sabo myself. But why? damnit, WHY?!!

Reading your blog these days is nothing short of agony. I can't believe how well you cook! That salmon... jeez. I gotta go get me some. And what's the Jack Daniel's marinade like? Just JD ah?

Jay: Jack Daniels marinade - 1 shot (abt 2 tbsp) Jack Daniels, 2 tbsps brown sugar, 2 tsp kicap cair, 2 tbsp kicap pekat, some lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix together and marinate fish at least 30 minutes. Then grill!

The remaining marinate you put together in a stove, add a bit of sugar and boil until it becomes a thick sauce, then coat the grilled salmon with it. Yummy!

Lady V... well, I decided that it's about time for Sunchild to grow up.

Natalia: I love peas too! hehe. Glad you enjoyed the post ^_^

all that food...You're evil, you do realise.

Then again I'm in Ipoh and about to go off for some yummy pork satay so nvm

Vish said...

Lainie you evil woman you!

i want ngar choi kai!!! and white coffee damnit. I *demand* white coffee. Hehe.

Eat extra pork satay for me! I haven't had pork for sometime, you know la, Malay housemate, not nice if I brought back pork lorr.

Plus marfan la if I have to samak after cooking. When we first came here we samak-ed everything from the oven to the sink and all that already, tiring I tell you.

So stopped eating pork and un-halal meal, and added fish and veggies to my diet. Healthier also. *grin*
