Steppin’ and Salmon

Training: Body Step / Elliptical 21 mins / Push ups 20

Wowza it was a cold one in Canberra today. Luckily I had the perfect way to warm up after work…. Body Step! And with that, plus 21 minutes on the Elliptical beforehand, and some pushups after the class to finish, I was thoroughly ravenous by the time I returned home.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Body Step? hehe perhaps once or twice ;)

With a post workout hunger, it was lucky that we had a QUICK meal on the menu this evening – which happened to be based on another recipe from Julie Goodwin's cookbook.

My recent yoghurt theme continued, as I subbed the cream in this recipe for the last of our natural yoghurt also.

Resulting in a rich flavoursome sauce, with a nice citrus hit.

As for the salmon, Mr BBB pan-fried salmon fillets until the skin was crispy, and the salmon was just cooked through.

But don’t be fooled, it was both super easy and super quick to make!

What about you? How do you like to serve your salmon?

  3. I love lemony sauces! I bet that sauce would be good drizzled on the asparagus.

  4. Ohhhh, I used to eat salmon fillets at least once a week when I lived at home, but haven't had them in over a year! Must go back to parents' for Sunday dinner soon... :P

  9. @ Monique - we just used a slicer to slice them thinly then steamed them for a couple minutes. Super easy!

  12. I'm normally not adventurous enough to cook salmon - in my mind it is super difficult - but this might motivate me to change my mind! It looks delicious and I'm impressed with the mid-week positioning of it.
