Grill out for the first time this year.

Let's call this the Weber Seared Salmon. Paired with an amazingly healthy Zuch-Squash side, also Seared on the grill. Trick: smoked with thyme branches.

Seared on demand Salmon Paired with a "Velouté de moutarde". Jasmine rice and brocs are the usual suspects for a salmon. Add a die o butter to melt over the rice.

Mustard Veloute:
Make sure you use a high quality brown mustard.
Start with a well stirred roux, de-glaze with a white or rosé. Add stock (veggies or chicken) until it's silky. Add your favorite herbs. Finish with a spoonful of mustard.

A Velouté requires lots of attention: make it and finish if before cooking and keep it warm.

I like to sear the salmon with Himalayan salt, crushed black pepper and dill.

Bouchee a la Reine.

Which seemed to have been transformed into an S.O.S in the US.

This one is made with baby Bellas heavy cream and seasoned chopped pork and chicken.

Last night's dinner was Chinese Ginger steamed Chilian Seabass.

This is always a healthy treat.

Throw in some sautéed Chinese broccoli and you went to the local Chinese restaurant.

Eat it on your coffee table and you'll really feel like you've teleported to China.

Small breakfast. Bonus if you can have it at your desk!

A single butter-fried egg, couple of slices of French bread and a rolled prosciutto.

Breakfast: you "BREAK" your "FASTING". Healthier mindset is to return to what a breakfast was meant for. Make it smaller and make it last longer: Your body digests sugar super fast and runs out fast. And if you don't use the sugar, your body stocks it in the form of fat. A little bit of lipid and protein is slower to digest and will last longer while you get to lunch. Not having breakfast is not necessarily a good thing either. 😉

Last night was Schnitzel night.

Fairly easy dish, especially if your base is a packet from Germany.

And of course, it's only a base: stir fry your mushrooms with diced onions. Once tender, add white wine and let it evaporate.

Also don't forget to beat the meat with sea salt. This time I usedend cuts: Cheap yet very effective and just enough fat to keep it moist.

Sprinkle the end result with fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped parsley.

Enjoy!
