Sweet Succulent Salmon
Posted by Ling on March 2, 2010
Seeing as I have been nicknamed Love Guru by my friends, I’d better start giving out more dating advice!
Here’s a word of advice for you guys out there - Learn to cook!
1. Girls will be impressed by your culinary skills.
2. Enjoy dinner in the comfort of your own home and if you want dessert (the non-eating kind), then there’s no need to transport yourself to an appropriate place because you are there already!
3. Saves you money rather than dining in those pretentious posh restaurants with dodgy waiters who may spit in your food because they’re envious of the fact that you’re dining with a lovely lady while they have to work.
My boyfriend did not win me over with his cooking as I never had a chance to taste his culinary delights till after we started dating. But if I had known earlier about his amazing cooking skills, I would have asked him out myself! LOL!
Here’s some food porn.
Dinner
Sweet Succulent Salmon is black pepper and honey-glazed salmon on a bed of asparagus with cherry roma tomatoes.
The name of this meal is derived from the fact that the honey glaze was sweet and sticky; but also, when cooking fish, it is easy to overcook it resulting in dry, tough fish meat – but not in this case – the flesh was succulent.
This is before the honey glaze was added…
Here’s a close-up. Look at that beautiful crispy salmon skin! You can also see the black pepper.
I took a massive big bite and then brought out my camera and took another photo just to illustrate how succulent and moist the fish was…
Negatives : may not be filling enough as carb content is low; raw tomatoes do not release as much lycopene (an antioxidant) as cooked tomatoes
Positives : salmon is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids; asparagus is known for its aphrodisiac properties
Calories : moderate-low
Satisfaction : oh yummy!
Comments : Personally, I like my salmon a bit more cooked. When I got to the centre of the fish, it was almost like eating sashimi. Nonetheless, I enjoyed every bite. No carbs at dinner-time means feeling less bloated and more room for dessert – the eating kind!
Food Porn Factor : 8 out of 10
All food cooked with love from Ling’s boyfriend, Mr Dorky.
