Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls

 Last week's menu had Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls on it.  Billy wasn't impressed.  I however, was impressed.  I was so impressed I not only ate mine, but I ate his (he only took one bite) the next day.  In his defense, he's not a fan of salmon, where I will eat almost any seafood.

I've been a fan of Gina Homolka for several years.  I have all her cookbooks and her website, SkinnyTaste, has been bookmarked in my browser since I found it.  Her recipes are delicious and she gives the WW points for them.  Very helpful if you are following WW.  Gina publishes a weekly menu plan that I have followed before.  As I was browsing her website, I noticed the recipe for Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls.  It looked good so I decided to give it a try.

(Not my picture, this is Gina's picture from her website)

Since I'm a sucker for avocado and I like seafood, I knew I'd enjoy this.  And in totally honesty, I knew Billy probably wouldn't.  But I made it anyway.  The small victories of being the one who cooks LOL  I did not do rice though.  I subbed in cauliflower rice so I wouldn't have the carb count.  I liked it so much I decided to share it here so you could enjoy as well.

Honey Sriracha Roasted Salmon Rice Bowls
Recipe by Gina Homolka

Ingredients:
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP sriracha (plus more for serving)
1 TBSP soy sauce
2 tsp minced ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon filets
3 Persian cucumbers (thinly sliced, or 1/3 English cucumber cut into thin half moons)
1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame seed oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 c cooked short-grain brown rice (I used cauliflower rice)
4 oz avocado, thinly sliced
Furikake seasoning (or sesame seeds, for garnish)

Instructions:
1. Preheat broiler with a rack about 6 inches below it.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
2.  In a small bowl, combine the honey, sriracha, soy sauce and ginger, stir with a fork until the honey dissolves.
3,  Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and place them on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
4.  Brush the salmon with the glaze and cook under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until it's easily flaked with a fork and golden on top.
5.  Meanwhile, combine the sliced cucumber with the rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt.

To Serve:
Place 3/4 cup rice in each bowl.  Divide and top with salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber and a drizzle of sriracha, if desired, plus a sprinkle of furikake seasoning.

I really hope you give this a try and like it.  If you do, let me know, and let Gina know.
Until next time...

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot.  But ya'll.  I'm originally from south Louisiana,  I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf!  I totally went off any eating plan while there.  Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food.  If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
