Soy Glazed Salmon

Posted on July 19th, 2011 by peanutbutterfingers

It is just as I suspected.

Moving bites the big one. I hate packing for a vacation, let alone a full-blown move. Bleh!

Ryan and I spent a few hours cleaning and boxing before we realized we were going to need more boxes.

We took an early evening trip back over to our friend’s shop to gather more boxes and took a sweet detour.

A very sweet detour! Open-mouthed smile 

First I convinced Ryan to stop for fro yo…

And then he convinced me to split a McDonald’s arctic orange milkshake with him.

We’re two peas in a pod when it comes to our love for ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Fortunately our sweet treats didn’t derail our appetites too much and we still had room for dinner.

Dinner

Tonight we enjoyed soy glazed sockeye salmon with a side of corn on the cob.

  • Garnish with chia seeds and enjoy

Something about corn on the cob just screams summer! Both Ryan and I cleared our plates.

And now it’s time to clear my head. Off to relax for the rest of the night. Tomorrow will be our final day of packing and organizing and on Thursday, we’re movin’!

    That salmon looks sooo good! I love cooking salmon with soy sauce. Next time add some fresh chopped ginger to the marinade – gives it a little bit of sweetness and tastes great!

    Packing is definitely a biatch. Your froyo pics always make me so jealous that there isn’t a decent froyo place anywhere near me!

    The salmon looks great! I’ve never even thought about adding chia seeds to a dinner.

    Yogurtland is the best! It’s only a little bit pathetic that I recognized the spoon.
    I swear I’m addicted to that stuff. Why does it have to be 10 minutes away from my house and a short walk from my dorm? I have it all day everyday.

    Plus sorry about the packing. That’s no fun at all.

    Ah- I am so jealous of how frequently you get froyo! I live in a suburb of NYC in Connecticut, and the froyo places around here are SO expensive. Out of curiosity, how much do you usually spend? If you get a decent sized froyo around here you’ll end up spending upwards of 6-7 dollars. If you get a small amount, maybe 4-5. But of course, when I get froyo, I have to go all out!

    Good call on getting fro yo (and a McD Shake — yum!) after packing for a while. If you ever need more boxes, you should stop by a liquor store. We’ve always gotten moving boxes from them and they have always been more than willing to share. Plus they are really sturdy which is nice.

    You salmon looksyummy…I would bever ever have thought of putting chia seeds on salmon. So cool!

    When did you start eating chia? You seem to be a chia queen, always using them. ;-) Which is awesome, because I’ve hopped on the chia train too now, thanks to you! :-)
