An Asian Feast

I can’t believe it is already 10:00pm! This day has flown by! By the time my mom headed for Chagrin Falls and Brady got home from basketball – it was already 8:00pm. I had started marinating our salmon but that was it. I quickly threw the rest of our dinner together and it was great – done in less than 30min. Watch out Rachel Ray!!

Our Asian Feast included: Garlic-Ginger Grilled Salmon on the grill, Quinoa and fresh veggie stir-fry.

Garlic-Ginger Grilled Salmon

• 2 pieces of fresh salmon
• 2 tbsp. minced garlic
• 1/2 c. soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger (comes in a jar from TJ)

Brady threw the salmon on the grill about 15 minutes before we were ready to eat on low heat. While he was tending the grill I was making mixed veggies.

Fresh Asian Stir-Fry

* I cut the following fresh veggies into “chunks” and simmered them in a little Garlic-Ginger marinate and some TJ’s Asian sauce.

- zucchini

- yellow squash

- shelled edamame

- sugar snap peas

- water chesnuts

- red cabbage

- mushrooms

- carrots

These cooked on the stove for about 10-15 minutes while the salmon was on the grill.

I was thinking about mixing the veggies in the quinoa before serving it, but opted not to for leftover purposes. I will make this meal again and again. It was easy, healthy and wonderful! It would be great for a dinner party or to warm up for lunch tomorrow!

Tomorrow we have company for dinner! Yay! I’m going to work on a healthy dessert for them – I’ll let you know how it goes!
