Salmon with Dijon-Dill Sauce


We were rummaging through the freezer and found some salmon steaks that we thought we'd finished. As it was already late and we were ridiculously hungry, we came up with this deliciously light meal that didn't take more than 10 minutes to put together.

We had some extra tomatoes that needed to be eaten so we made a small salad to go with the salmon. Our final touch was to fry up some mushrooms and drizzle the bed of veggies in our balsamic dressing. The bite of the salad dressing and the Dijon-dill sauce complemented each other perfectly so we could attack everything at once when we finally sat down to eat!

Ingredients:
2 Salmon Steaks
2 Handfulls of fresh baby spinach
1 Tomato - sliced
1 small hand full of mushrooms
1 Knob of butter
1 tbsp of Dill Weed
1/3 cup of Sour Cream
3 tbsp of Dijon Mustard
2 tsp of lemon juice
1 clove of garlic - minced
salt
pepper

For the sauce:
Mix the dill, mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice and garlic into the sour cream.

For the salmon:
Brush melted butter onto salmon and fry until cooked through. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, fry mushrooms in butter until softened. Spread the spinach on the plate and top with the tomatoes and mushrooms and drizzle with balsamic dressing. Place the salmon on top and cover liberally with the sauce and enjoy!

Yummy Potato Salad















This is my go to recipe for potato salad. It tastes really good right away, but if you let it sit in the fridge over night, the potatoes soak up all of the flavour and get REALLY creamy and delicious.

Ingredients:
1.5 - 2 lbs baby potatoes, assorted colours
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonaise (I'm not sure exactly how much, but it also depends on how you like it)
3 green onions, chopped
2 tsp dill
3 generous splashes rice wine vinegar
Juice from half a lemon

  1. Bring potatoes to a boil over high heat then turn down to medium-low. Boil 15 minutes, or until fork tender
  2. drain the potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle
  3. cut potatoes in half or into quarters, depending on how big the potato is
  4. mix everything together in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
