Baked Cod with Shiitake Mushrooms and Bok Choy
I’m currently working on finishing up a couple of stories and recipes to share but they’re taking me a little extra time to get just right. In the meantime I thought I’d give you another quick and easy meal. Let’s call this the baking paper meal. Like the sheet pan meal, this recipe comes together with very little prep work or clean up required. It is also quick, extremely customisable and requires no fancy equipment in order to execute, and the options are endless. However, unlike the sheet pan meal, the baking paper meal bakes all at one time, so the components need to have equal cooking times.

Another Vegetable Filled Adventure ~ Salmon Rice Paper Rolls Served with Green Bean and Red Pepper Salad
It’s Friday again and in my house that either means fly to work morning or fly home evening for my better half. Every Friday means a trip to the airport for us. I have to say I much prefer the Friday evening trips over the Friday insanely early morning trips. Those morning trips you never can tell what mismatched clothes I might be wearing or what direction my hair will be pointing. I totally pull off the “I just rolled out of bed to make this drop off and plan on going straight back to bed” look. And of course, I don’t jut struggle with the early morning but also the fact that it is good-bye for the week. But lets not dwell on the early mornings anymore for today is an evening trip to the airport which means, not only am I more presentable, but also that it is fly home day!! Yay for us!!
Fly home day means a low key night with a good catch up and a clean meal pack with veggies. Tonight I really wanted to do a make ahead meal so all I really had to do was pull it from the fridge, pour some wine and sit an enjoy. I knew I wanted to make salmon. I toyed with a lot of ideas; a house favorite Salmon Nicoise, Salmon and Asparagus pasta, Honey Soy Salmon, Salmon Banh Mi… I could keep going. There are a couple pages of scribbled notes. What I did decide on is Salmon Rice Paper Rolls with a Chilled Green Bean and Red Pepper Salad.

Parchment Baked Fish with Steamed Baby Bok Choy
If there’s one thing I can count on this would be it; nights my better half comes home from a week away at work, the one and only request I ever get is to have veggies with dinner. Not that I don’t always serve up a vegetable with dinner but on these nights I do try to make sure there are extras and they are a more substantial part of the meal. Apparently at work he is quite deprived of all things leafy and green. Now I’ve never seen it, but I’m sure the cafeteria up on site does serve up veggies on a regular basis but considering the amount of people they cook for daily I can only imagine that they are a lovely frozen precut variety that sit in a bain marie after being over cooked to begin with. They likely take on that green-gray mushy color. Is mushy a color? Ah well, you get my drift. Not appetizing at all!
