[Cook] Sake to Mayonnaisu (Broiled Salmon with Mayonnaise)

I've had Sake to Mayonnaisu (Broiled Salmon with Mayonnaise) in restaurants before. Didn't know it was that simple to make. Salmon, salt, and mayo. That's pretty much all you need. I probably didn't leave the salmon in the oven long enough because the mayonnaise wasn't browned. But the fish smelt too good and we were too hungry. I am sure it'll look better and probably taste even better if the mayo is browned a bit more.

I found SoCal Crawfish Connection from one of those daily deal website. I bought a $20 voucher for $10.



We went on a weekend afternoon. The restaurant wasn't busy at this time. Our server (owner?) was really friendly.

[Cook] Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp

I love the meal planning website Relish. One more day left to get $16 for six months of meal-planning from Relish. Today's dinner was super easy to make, and the result was way above my expectation. Dr. P went on a business trip to Boston this morning. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy dinner with me. But I'll make it for him again when he returns.


Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp

The main course was Sizzling Garlic and Lemon Shrimp. I served it with couscous and salad with pears and pecans.

We love Boiling Crab! I've noticed there are more and more similar type of restaurants popping up everywhere. We want to try more new restaurants, but just don't know which one to go to. I saw a $15 for $30 Groupon daily deal for Dang! Crabs. It was a good bargain to try out a new restaurant.



Dang! Crabs is a small place located in a Vietnamese shopping plaza. The restaurant wasn't busy at all when we went there on a Sunday night. The servers were all really nice and friendly.

[Cook] Steamed Fish

My dad went fishing and prepared a fresh caught fish for me to take home. I told him I don't really know how to cook a whole fish so he taught me how and made the special sauce for me. It was so good. Tasted just like the kind of fish and sauce you get from Chinese seafood restaurant!


Steamed Fish

I watched dad prepared the sauce. He used:

• Oyster sauce


• Soy sauce


• Mirin


• Sesame oil


• Garlic Powder


• Water

I don't know the exact amount since he made it by tasting it.

We saw House of Big Fish and Ice Cold Beer's menu while walking down Coast Highway a while back. They have happy hour Monday through Friday from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. The price for each dish goes from $2.30 to $5.30 as the time gets later. Dr. P had a Friday afternoon free, and I thought of happy hour at House of Big Fish and Ice Cold Beer.



We got to the restaurant around 2:45pm. Happy hour is first come first serve at the bar area. Seemed like everyone knew about the cheap hour hour at 2:30pm, and the place was packed.

[Cook] Roasted Salmon With Lentils

We absolutely love this recipe from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast! The Mediterranean style sauce was so good with the salmon and lentil. It also tasted very healthy. I will definitely make this one again and again!! If you like salmon, I urge you to give this recipe a try, please~~~~


Roasted Salmon With Lentils

A mustard vinaigrette gives this Mediterranean-inspired dish its tangy flavor. Drizzle some over a leafy-green salad, and serve it on the side. The cooking time for lentils can vary widely depending on their age. Older lentils require more time. For the best results, we recommend buying a fresh, new bag.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

I found some pictures from my phone. Sometime when I forget to bring my camera, I take pictures with my phone. Then I forget about the pictures in my phone. Man, my memory is getting worth as I get older. :-( Anyway, we went to Boneheads a while back because I got two coupons. One was for a free appetizer, and one was for buy one get one free. I read this place is a lot like California Fish Grill, except they also serve chicken.


Boneheads Shrimp ($7.49)
Crispy Shrimp tossed in a spicy aioli with a hint of Piri Piri

The nice clerk let us used both coupons at the same time. For our free appetizer, we got Boneheads Shrimp. These "popcorn" shrimp was really really good. The crispy shrimp was seasoned perfectly. It tasted even better with their special spicy aioli.

[Cook] Salmon Taco

This was my semi-homemade Salmon Taco. The salmon was Trident Seafoods Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers from Costco. I love the salmon burger, and always enjoyed it as a fish burger or sandwich. I had tomatoes, avocado, garlic and cilantro at home, so I thought about making fish taco that night. I went to the market, but none of the fish were on sale and everything seemed expensive. Then I thought of the salmon burger I had in my freezer. Why not try make fish taco with that? Dr. P loved it, and said it was better than fish taco in restaurants. haha... It was really yummy, and only took 15 minutes to make.


Salmon Taco

2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
A handful of cilantro leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Corn tortillas

[Cook] Cod Provencal

This is another Rouxbe recipe. However, I messed up. I bought frozen cod from Trader Joe's. Somehow the fish burned within a minute after I put it in the stainless steel saute pan. It wasn't even cooked, but already burned on the outside. Also the fish just didn't taste right. Even the texture of the fish tasted funny. We ended up throwing everything away after a few bites. I don't think there's anything wrong with the recipe. Maybe I should use fresh cod and try this recipe again.


Cod Provencal

The cod had a panko crust. It was browned in a pan, then finished cooking in the oven. The ragout was made with garlic, tomatoes, edamame beans, olives, caper, white wine and basil. I think the leftover ragout would also go well with chicken or pasta.

來吃生猛海鮮當然要小酌一番，我點了我愛喝的甜甜梅子味米酒，公園先生點了喝起來像直接在灌酒精的燒酒。

Red Lobster是美國到處都有的海鮮連鎖餐廳，價錢中等，食物蠻好吃，份量也跟一般美國餐廳一樣給的很大，這天我是跟家人一起來用餐。


起司麵包和凱薩沙拉 Cheese Biscuit & Ceasar Salad

點完餐點以後，服務生先上了起司麵包，我最喜歡吃這裡的前餐麵包了，他們做的比士吉(biscuit)裡面有著濃濃的起司和香料的香味，而且吃起來是溼潤而不是乾乾的那種，我真的很喜歡。

跟妹妹去逛百貨公司，看到了這家新開張的海鮮餐廳，決定進去試試看。我們去的時間是一個星期天下午大約三點多，餐廳還在賣午餐，而且人還蠻多的，果然假日大家都睡很晚！



菜單一上來，我們真是看的眼花撩亂，因為他們賣的東西實在太多了，各式各樣的海鮮，生的熟的冷的熱的通通都有，價錢都還不算貴，我們實在不知道該點什麼好，還好我們的服務生很親切的介紹了幾樣他們特別有名的餐點，另外他們還有每天更新的今日特餐，都是根據今天最新進貨的新鮮海鮮而更新的菜單，所以我妹妹點了今日新鮮的比目魚，而我點了椰香咖哩蚌殼飯，並另外加了一客海鮮湯。

[Cook] Cream Cheese Pasta Meal

大家應該都還熟悉凱薩沙拉，但是這是用魚露調出來的泰式風味醬汁，另外我還灑上了自己喜歡的羊乳酪(goat cheese)，吃起來別有一番風味！開胃蝦的醬料很好吃喔！我覺得用來抹在三明治中應該也不錯吃！起司麵做法真的超級簡單的，而且材料也很少，可是成果的味道卻是異常的好吃，我常常做這道給朋友吃，吃過的朋友會念念不忘呢！還曾經有朋友半夜打電話來跟我說他肚子餓然後一直想著這道起司麵呢！哈哈！
