Culture Clash Salmon

The title of this post is really just a fancy way of saying that we threw together a whole load of random and unrelated ingredients and called it a meal.  Sometimes, when you're too tired/lazy to shop, you just have to ransack the fridge and hope for the best. 

This is what we came up with:

- A couple of frozen salmon fillets (bought in a multi-pack months ago, rescued from the bottom of the freezer)

- Onion (one small, had been living a lonely existence in the vegetable box)

- One half-full box of Ebly (has been kicking around the cupboard for unspecified amount of time)

- Tomatoes, tomatoes, and more tomatoes.

So we marinated the salmon in some soy sauce and lots of fresh grated ginger.  Cooked the Ebly with a chopped onion and plenty of butter.  Made a bouncy-fresh tomato salad with oodles of parsley from the garden.


It was surprisingly good for a meal that ignored all the usual traditions of food matching.

We followed it up with fresh strawberries:


..which, yes, since you ask, I did coordinate to match my living room carpet.
