Friday Pescatarian Meal Salmon Stir Fry

Friday is company night and it's the one non-vegan meal of the week.

Salmon Stir Fry

  • 1 cup of brown rice
  • 1 cup of water (or stock if you like)
  • Some salt
  • A bit (maybe a tablespoon) of coconut oil (optional)
Into the Instant Pot.  Manual for 15 mins.  NPR for 10 mins.

  • Salmon fillets
  • Miyoko's vegan butter, melted (I still don't want dairy)
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cayenne
  • Dried parsley
  • Juice of one lemon
No measurements... I just throw stuff together.  I mixed up all the stuff above in a shallow bowl then dipped the salmon in and tried to rub the stuff on all parts of the salmon.

I then put them into my toaster oven onto a pan in the center (my broiler pan).  The oven was preheated and running at 400 degrees.  The fillets should sizzle when you put them on the pan.  I set the timer for 10 minutes.

  • Onion
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Red bell pepper
  • Zucchini
  • Bok Choy
  • Mung bean sprouts
These all get a rough cut and they go into a large hot pan with a little olive oil in the order listed (things that take the longest to cook start first).  

I like my veggies al dente so nothing gets cooked to the point of mushy.  I actually put the bean sprouts in after turning off the stove.  They only need to be heated.  If things start sticking while you're cooking, add a little water and stir with wooden spoon.

You can add fresh garlic and ginger at the beginning if you like.  I put coconut aminos on at the end or at the table, so sometimes I won't bother with any extra flavoring during cooking.



If you try any of these recipes, I'd love to hear from you.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Image
I don't think I even TRIED a Brussels sprout until I was in my 50's.  As a child, I loathed vegetables (maybe it was the way they were cooked/served).  And now practically 50% of my diet is veggies.  (That doesn't mean I'll be including beets or mushrooms anytime soon... I know mushrooms aren't a veggie, but I lump them). For me, roasted Brussels sprouts are second only to roasted cauliflower . I will admit that when I look at the progression of photos (below), I do feel badly about taking this bright green gorgeous vegetable and charring the heck out of it.  But I've not yet embraced a fondness for raw Brussels sprouts, so for now roasted it is. They are like little cabbages, though, and I love coleslaw, so maybe I'll try them raw someday.

Quick Snacks

Sometimes, okay... most of the time, I don't do "cooking". When I eat, I have about three basic systems.  Big cooking, something from a recipe start to finish, I do that about once a week.  Two or three times a week, I have leftovers (either fresh from the cooking session or just pull some leftovers out of the freezer).  The rest of the time my meals consist of either salads (which I don't really consider as "cooking" because I already have the dressing made up and I only put 1-3 ingredients in... leaning more toward one... which is lettuce)... so either salads or single foods. Here's an example of one of my "single foods" meals.  Blueberries, macadamia nuts, and tea. I am a big fan of blueberries.  So another easy meal for me is blueberries with a dollop of unsweetened coconut yogurt on top.  And by "coconut yogurt" I don't mean yogurt that is coconut flavored.  I mean yogurt made solely from coconut (dairy free).  My ...

Instant Pot Vegetable Stew with Beef and Soup Spice Mix

Image
It has come to my attention that I will have to start making my own broths (veggie, beef and perhaps chicken).  I get that companies want to keep their recipes secret (proprietary info) but that doesn't help those of us trying to steer clear of some very specific foods.  We need very specific labels. I was in Sprouts earlier this week shopping for beef broth.  The only two options were these (all the others actually stated either "sugar" or "yeast" in the ingredients). Upon further inspection, they do indeed have sugar ("organic caramel coloring").  And also worrisome is the ambiguous "flavor".  Flavor is not an ingredient.  Ha ha ha!   So I called Sprouts corporate headquarters.  They said they can't give me the list of ingredients since it's proprietary.  I said I understand, and would they tell me if the list of ingredients included either "corn" or "yeast". She said it does say "no co...
