Potato and fish again! yay!!!

Me again! who am I speaking to? Well, guess to myself! Well here's a funny fact: when you live on your own for a long time, you start talking to yourself... not in your head, but out loud! Your mental notes, and thought bubbles find their way through your lips and become voice! Uhum!
Why I am mentioning this? Who knows... guess I'm just tired!

'Earlier' this evening (less than 2 hours ago) I said to friend: It's crazy what you can do during an evening especially when you get back home (from work) at past 8! and yes it is crazy!
Well, checked my mails, my facebook account, watched CNN for 10 minutes (and hurray for the cold snap on Germany!) and then it was time for dinner:

Pesto Salmon served with Roasted Potatoes
Sorry, it's again potatoes and salmon (quite boring huh... but this one tastes REALLY good!)
Anyway.. here it goes

Salmon filet (2 pieces)
1 tsp pesto sauce
2 potatoes, cut in quarters (unpeeled)
1/2 tsp dill
1 tsp estragon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
1tsb lemon juice
Salt & pepper

Place the fish in an over dish, spread over with pesto then pour lemon juice on top. cover with a foil and place in a heated oven (200°C) for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, boil the potatoes in water until cooked. In a pan, combine the reste of the ingrediens and heat until you hear that sweet sizzling of tho oil. Pour in the potatoes and stir-fry until surface is golden and crusty.

Tip: goes perfectly well with a safran rice

1/2 cup basmati
1 cup boiled water
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch safran
Salt

In a pot, heat oil and add rice. Stir until it starts roasting. Add water, safran and salt if desired). Cook over very low heat for about 15 minutes (water should be all soaked up and rice soft but not mashy or gluey)./


I guess that if I tell you what I was listening to tonight you'd be scared! Machine Head's 2007 album 'The Blackening' that is. Don't worry, I'm fine ;) it's just the dark and twisted part of me coming back to the surface!

(P.S.: sorry, no pictures tonight! I was so hungry that I only thought about pictures when I was half way through my dinner)

  1. Oops! The title of tonight's post sounds almost like 'Fish & Chips'! What was I thinking?!
