Tasty Salmon Combo

Sorry for being very MIA recently! With the new school year underway and ample of midterms and exams, I have been fairly occupied with lots of deadlines

Starting off a new school year, this dish is a little more technical than my previous dishes. Although the process as a whole is quite easy, this week's dish does require a good level of knife skills.

The Tasty Salmon Combo is inspired by a combination of Tasty tutorials on Facebook with slight modifications. I know their recipes often receive criticism about their nutritional value, but with a slight modification, these recipes can be both healthy and tasty. Again, healthy food does not mean no fats whatsoever; a little bit of oil here and there is totally fine! Just remember to have it in moderation :) Have a taste of this lovely salmon dish tonight!

Hassle-back Potato (Inspired by Tasty's Easy Baked Potato Chips (Hasselback Potato)

Ingredients:
2 Russet Potatoes
2 Teaspoon of Canola Oil
Salt and Pepper

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F
2. Slice potatoes 3/4 of the way. Leave a 5mm gap in between each slice
3. Brush Canola Oil onto the potatoes and sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper on each potato. Put potatoes on a foiled cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 45 mins

Baked Salmon (Inspired by Tasty's Parchment Baked Salmon 4 Ways)

Ingredients:
1 Salmon Fillet
Salt and Pepper
Dried Dill

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F
2. Rub salt, pepper, and dried dill onto salmon on both sides
3. Lightly oil both sides and set on pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked thoroughly

Oven Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:
1 Zucchini, sliced
1 Onion, diced
1 Bag of baby carrots
1 Tomato, sliced
2 Teaspoon of Oil
Salt and Pepper

Instructions:
1. Preheat over to 325F
2. Toss vegetables with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread vegetables on foiled cookie sheet
3. Bake for 30 minutes

TIP: Since all parts of the dish are done at relatively the same time, I would highly recommend putting all dishes onto separate cookie sheets and cook at the same time. Not only will this save you time, it will also save you a few bucks on your electrical bill :)

If you are doing so, I recommend putting the vegetables and salmon on the top rack since they cook much quicker than the potato. The potato can go on the bottom rack to ensure that it is cooked thoroughly. 

Enjoy!

Quick and Easy Breakfast

Wow! It has been another hectic week. With the start of the new summer semester, I have been slowly adjusting to the regular routine again. However, having only one online course has proven to be a struggle when it comes to getting into the rhythm of things. I go to work more often and study less than usual. I continue to go on weekend adventures and exploring different hiking trails two to three times a week. No matter how my schedule looks like, I am still VERY, very busy! With so many things to do every week and so less time, making breakfast can turn into a war zone in the kitchen. Fortunately, I discovered a fast and easy breakfast that will not only give me the energy I need for the day, but save me time in the process: Scrambled eggs style omelette and homemade hashbrowns. See below for the recipe! Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Cup of Spinach 1 Large White Potato (Or 2 White nugget potatoes) Salt and Pepper, to taste 1/4 Onion, Sli...

Upscale Feeling

Just a few days ago, my mom and I went to a local place for a quick dinner before heading home. We stopped by Aberdeen Centre and happened to stumble upon a nicely lit and upscale dining area in the first floor of the large mall. It happened to be Sugarholic Cafe, an Asian cafe that looks nothing like your typical Hong Kong Style restaurant. We decided to have their special that night which included a drink, main course, and dessert. We ordered their honey green tea and iced fresh fruits tea for our drinks. To my surprise, both drinks were delicious! Although a little on the sweet side, the honey green tea was so refreshing. The iced fresh fruits tea was also good, however, it was a little disappointing when we found out that the tea was simply fruit infused, not anything special. Next we had our main course: Seafood Miso Cream Udon and Paella Style Seafood Risotto.   The seafood miso cream udon was quite amazing. Although mixing miso and cream sauce was the last thing I e...
