That old kettle of fish.

11 July 2011 – Bitch Tits’ Salmon, Asparagus and Cherry Tomato Salad

I decided to check-up on how all the cooking has been going and was shocked to find that I am two recipes behind (for my once a week target)! This in mind, I thought I’d better get cracking and cook for the second night in a row. Sian and I were entertaining the thought of being healthy so I decided to have a crack at Bitch Tits’ Salmon, Asparagus and Cherry Tomato Salad - to date the best named recipe in my book. Thanks Nomes!

This was crazy easy. The fish went in the oven while the griddle pan heated up and once it was hot enough, I put the asparagus, cherry tomatoes and pumpkin (there was some in the fridge so why not) on to cook. Easy.

The recipe said 'balsamic vinegar (caramelised)' which confused me. I didn't know if I was meant somehow caramelise it or if I should have brought something different, but there was some balsamic vinaigrette in the fridge so we used that instead.

I don't think I did anything stupid and there were no difficult processes, so it's really not that interesting.

Missy Higgins was thoroughly unenjoyable for some reason, so we switched her off and watched last weeks’ Grey's (before turning back to playing Yahtzee, which until this weekend was forgotten about and totally underrated in my book).

We had the same issue we had last time we tried to eat a healthy meal and were hungry after half an hour but apart from the small issue of us being pigs, it was really yum. I’ll cook it again for sure.

Tips: buy a snack to eat after dinner as healthy food (is delicious) but not filling.

Music: Missy Higgins, The Sound of White.
