I did another salmon dish the other night along with some veggies straight from my garden. I marinated the salmon in a ginger-soy sauce which was very easy to make and delicious.
Ginger-Soy Marinade
Fresh Ginger Peeled and Sliced (about 2-3 Tablespoons)
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Sesame Seeds (for topping)
I chopped all these ingredients together in my food processor and poured it over the fish and then sprinkled sesame seeds on top and baked it at 400 F for 12-15 minutes. I served it alongside sauteed mushrooms & kale (from garden), I used a little bit of the soy marinade in this and mixed in some sesame seeds. The broccoli was picked fresh from my garden and lightly steamed. This was a healthy, fresh and delightful meal.
I have also been experimenting with salads as I have so many varieties of lettuce growing in the garden. This one has arugula, mango, avocado, goats cheese, pine nuts and a cilantro (coriander) pesto dressing. A great salad for the summer! Another winner is fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, avocado, arugula and pine nuts tossed in a basil pesto dressing.
A few other things coming out of my kitchen lately have been more on the sweet side. Pear & Raspberry Crumble, Keylime Pie (whole egg) and Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting.

I was very excited about making this keylime pie recipe because it is completely from scratch and does not use condensed milk. I snagged the recipe from my aunt who is known for her keylime pie. I think next time I will add an extra splash of key-lime juice and zest, but otherwise this was fabulous. It is also nice served with fresh raspberries. I made a gluten-free crust that was a real experiment as I was determined to just use what I had in the pantry. If you are interested in this recipe just let me know and I will post it up!
