for the enjoyment of my husband and a few other people who commented on the use of the triple t's - i've switched the day that i will be posting treats and recipes. so there you go. i'm also not going to be as strict on the format of how i write this. ooooohkay. enough of that.
this week i chose to do fish!
recipe: salmon with garlic asparagus
ingredients
2 - 6oz salmon fillets
1-2 tbsp butter
1/2 lemon
lemon pepper
salt
garlic powder
3 tbsp soy sauce
4-6 stalks of asparagus
garlic salt
2 garlic cloves (optional)
method for fish
1. melt butter in pan over medium high heat.
2. season fish with salt, lemon pepper (about 1-2 tsp), and garlic powder (this is totally up to you, depends on how much garlic you want on it). make sure to season both sides.
3. place seasoned fish into pan with the melted butter.
4. pour in the soy sauce and squeeze some lemon juice on top of the fish.
5. wait a few minutes and flip and squeeze the remainder of the lemon juice onto that side of the fish
6. cook about 10 minutes per 1 inch thickness of salmon or until the fish flakes
method for asparagus
1. while fish is cooking, steam asparagus a few minutes - until desired tenderness is achieved. (i usually do like 4-5 minutes on thick asparagus. that way its still semi-crispy but not bitter and has some tenderness)
2. once it is done i toss the asparagus with butter, garlic powder (or the garlic cloves... up to you/whichever you have on hand), some salt and pepper
3. serve with the fish.
voila! i hope you enjoy this recipe. i just had it on sunday and it filled me up and was delicious. another idea is to substitute the lemon for orange juice! soy sauce and orange juice (freshly squeezed) on salmon is delightful! try it! oh and if you want to cut down on some of the fattiness of this, try grilling it. just brush the fish with some melted butter, season it, put it on tin foil and grill it with all the seasoning! yum!
this is kind of what it will look like. i forgot to take a picture!
yum! let me know if you try it and what you think. i kind of made this up on my own... so i hope you all like it. i know i do.

life is incredibly stressful right now. we will be down to 1 car as early as may (thankfully katie said i could use her mom's old car for a temporary solution), my dress has still not come in, i have to go to va and possibly buy a new dress as a contingency plan, the wedding is next week. *sigh* its just so stressful! bah. anyway - i stopped and had dinner with bud and that was nice. especially since i won't really see him all that much this week because he's working all nights except thursday. *sigh* anyway - i am going to get off of here and relax. i haven't really done that in, oh... 2 weeks! goodnight. love to you all!
