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.

Vegan No Oil Burger Base Recipe

Vegan No-Oil Burger Base Recipe Today I wanted to make some veggie burgers (or bean burgers… ‘cause I didn’t really use veggies in the prototype other than onion and garlic). ETA: Let me clarify why I’m making my own veggie burgers.  There are a lot of healthy choices for foods in grocery stores, but a lot of it is still processed foods.  My goal is to (without going crazy or turning this into a full time job) eat whole foods as often as possible and if a meal requires a mix of ingredients, I’d rather make it myself from scratch.  Oh… I’ll be posting a follow up to this as I got a new kitchen toy recently… so stay tuned. I found a recipe online but I have to admit I am a bit lost in trying to provide a link to the original source recipe.   Apparently there’s a site called “ Deliciously Ella ” and the recipes there look great but I could find no search function nor could I find this recipe there.   Oddly enough, if you google the name of the re...

Whole Foods Plant Based No Oil Lettuce Boats

This first mention isn't the recipe... I'm just sharing about the lovely breakfast I had first.  I just peel and cut up some sweet potato or yam, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and mix them up (yes, there was a wee bit of oil in the breakfast... but that's not the recipe we're here for.... the oil free recipe is below... breakfast was just so yummy I wanted to mention it). Then I roast them at 400 degrees until done (30-40 mins depending on your oven).    No need for salt because… When they’re done, I remove the pan from the oven and spoon a lot of sauerkraut over them and then pop them back into the oven for about 5 more minutes. That keeps the cold sauerkraut from cooling off the potatoes, like if you just mixed them together without heating up the kraut. The sauerkraut provides more than enough salt. Mmmmm! Okay, but here’s why we’re really here today. I made these lettuce boats and they turned out so yummy I had to share. Lettuce Boats Ingredients 1 cup of ...

How It All Started

I used to pride myself on being the super low-maintenance person in almost all respects and particularly at restaurants.  I'd make faces when one of my companions became "that person" who asked the waiter a dozen questions and asked for this on the side and that on the side and "make sure they don't use oil" and "I want romaine not ice berg" and then they'd still take 30 minutes to decide what to order.  Ugh! But life has a funny way of throwing things back in our faces.  I am now "that person".  Not that I go to restaurants anymore, really, but let's start at the beginning... Last April (so it's been a year now, wow!), I decided on a whim to do an elimination diet.  If you're not familiar with that, google it, there's tons of info. What's the point or goal of an elimination diet?  To find out if there are any foods that maybe you shouldn't be having.  A certain food or food group could be an allergy for ...
