What’s for Dinner?
Little G started school today and my life is back to normal. You know, the regular stay-at-home-mom normal. Waking up, preparing breakfast, getting the kid ready for school, send him to school and then wonder what should I be making for tonight’s dinner.
Today is one of those days, and will be the same for many more days for the rest of the school year.

I went to the market and there are some amazing and fresh wild salmon available. Which got me thinking about easy salmon recipes.
Perhaps some garlic noodles with salmon tonight, with his favorite Parmesan roasted cauliflower.
I have to say that our dinner has changed a lot with the growing little G. While he likes Asian food such as rice and noodles, on any given days, his favorite food are still American-style dishes.
Well, he is not like me, born and raised in Malaysia. He is an American! Good for him, but also good for me as I learn to make a variety of dishes now.

When pan-frying the salmon until it’s half-done, should I have turned/flipped it when it was 1/4 done? Thanks 😊

You don’t have to turn or flip but you can if you want to.

Hi! This recipe is delicious. I’ve cooked it several times now for my family and each time is a guaranteed stellar meal. I figured it was time to show my appreciation. This time I decided to roast some fresh rosemary in the pan along with some red pepper flakes since I didn’t have Cayenne pepper. 🤤 So good! Thanks so much. I can’t wait to try your other recipes!
