Like I’ve said countless times, I don’t like fish. They just smell too fishy. A whiff of any particularly fishy-smelling fish will have me gagging, bringing me right back to my pregnant days. I had long ago concluded that I must have developed an aversion to the smell of fish since that pregnancy. And my son is now more than three years old. Still, I can’t stand fishy smells. Uggghh.
But there are exceptions. Of course, there are exceptions. Who could ever live without salmon and cod fish, I ask you? But we won’t talk about salmon today. Today, . . . → Read More: Oriental Butter Garlic Cod fish Recipe
Salmon is probably one of my favourite fishes. No, wait. It is probably the only fish I don’t tire of cooking! So, when I went and bought a packet of sweet basil (don’t you just love the sweet, sharp scent of it?), I know it will go splendidly with salmon.
So, I did sorta went overboard and used basil and salmon to cook three different dishes within the space of two days.
After my first attempt at cooking quinoa, I sorta went a bit obsessed with this super grain and came up with quite a few different ways to cook it. So, I decided to start a series on how to cook quinoa with my first attempt as the first in the series.
Now, I did mention that quinoa is a pretty versatile grain to cook with. You can pretty much cook it with anything you want. Since I am into making homemade burgers, I thought, hey I could use quinoa in my burgers instead of oatmeal or oat bran.

I love salmon and I normally eat it raw or grilled in teriyaki sauce. Sometimes, I’d bake it this way. I even cooked it in a curry once! It’s been awhile since we had salmon so I went and bought some recently. Salmon is full of nutrients and is one of the heart healthy food we should add to our diets so spending extra on it is worth it (it is imported, thus quite expensive compared to local fishes).
If you want to talk about eating fish, the only type of fish I simply love eating is salmon. There’s no way around it. I don’t like any other old fish all that much. Mostly, I can’t stand the smell of other normal fish but salmon, especially fresh ones, I think is simply heavenly. Also, I’ve mentioned before that salmon is very healthy and good for the heart.
So, recently, I went and bought a whole salmon and this is how I prepared the fish for two meals.
