Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillet

Because yesterday´s post was way too long I decided to keep it short and simple tonight. We all know fish is good for us and there are numerous ways to serve fish....imagination is the only thing standing in the way. In case your imagination needs a little help here is a dish that is really yummy and turns plain ol´salmon into a magical dish. You can find the recipe HERE
I served our salmon tonight with whole grain pasta and fresh veggies. For my pasta sauce I totally winged it but it turned out really good. I used the sauce for the fish that I had left over (probably 1/2 cup?) and mixed in about 100 grams of cream cheese, 1/2 cup cream, 2 TBSP light crème fraiche, about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded and about 1tsp onion powder, garlic pepper, and salt to taste. Let it all simmer together until you get desired thickness and pour over pasta and mix well. 


With the leftover pasta I´m already thinking of lunch tomorrow. I think I´ll sauté some onions and mushrooms together in a little olive oil and then add some chicken breast meat to the onions and mushrooms- give it a little zip in the pan and then add it to the pasta. I also have some sugar peas which would be perfect to add a little color to my chicken pasta salad :-) I´ll let you know how that works out tomorrow! 


Have a great Hump Day everyone!


Until next time my friends....

OH YUMMY!!! I love salmon and have some in the freezer so I'll write this out and give it a try. Thanks for the idea! I hope you got the chance to visit Kim's website for the textures...you'll have NO trouble learning how to do it by watching the tutorials and if you like it then maybe one day you'll join one of her classes. The tutorials REALLY are good. Hope your day is a good one!
