Oven Baked Salmon With Dill Sauce

As I was craving some seafood, specifically salmon, I found a recipe in a Norwegian cookbook for oven baked salmon with dill sauce.

The cookbook I used is called "365 sunne middager på en halvtime" (roughly translates as 365 healthy dinners in 30 minutes) edited by Ingrid Espelid Hovig, and in my opinion it was a fairly easy recipe to follow. Yes, I needed to use a couple of pots, as well as a mixing bowl for the sauce, and something for the salmon in the oven, but having a dishwasher helps in the clean-up.

Now, even with the pink pepper, in addition to the dill sauce, I did find the dinner overall a little bit too plain for my taste. Good? Yes, but still a bit too plain. Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled as I'm a bit used to food with a bit more spice to it, but if you're one that struggles with too much spice, whether it's too flavourful or hot, it might be something for you though.

I might make it again though, even if I struggled with the lack of spice.

Salmon With Spinach and Horseradish Sour Cream

Sorry that I haven't been good at updating here lately, but I'll play a bit catch-up starting today, posting about some of the things I've made in the last couple of months. First off, salmon with spinach and horseradish sour cream, which I made from a Norwegian cookbook called "365 sunne middager på en halvtime" edited by Ingrid Espelid Hovig (roughly translated as "365 healthy dinners in less than 30 minutes). Obviously, based on the title of the cookbook, it's a dinner that's fairly quick to make, which is always a good thing. When I baked the salmon in the oven, I decided making it a bit more interesting flavour-wise by adding pink pepper. Overall, it was an okay dinner, and the flavour of the horseradish gave it a nice little kick without being overpowering.

Why Am I Starting This Blog?

I've been thinking about starting this blog for quite some time and I decided to bite the bullet and actually do it. Why? Because even though Instagram is fun and all that, I felt it didn't quite work out for me the way I wanted. Anyway, let's go back to some time last year. As a book dragon who loves to cook and bake, I naturally have quite a collection of cookbooks (perhaps no shocker there), but I rarely used them. Some? Yes, but most certainly not the vast majority. So I went through them all with page markers (those small sticky post-it style things) and marked each page where I found a recipe I wanted to try that looked interesting and/or tasty. It was a bit labour-intensive as I've got quite a collection of cookbooks, but it was still fun to do. I slowly started working my way, making some of the recipes, while also posting on Instagram and creating a hashtag for the project ( #kristinscookbookproject ). As I mentioned, Instagram is fun and all that, but with th...

Making Chicken Satay From Scratch

Alright, it took a while before I got into gear and actually started writing more blog posts for this blog and I'm sorry about that. Anyway, earlier this week I ended up making Chicken Satay from scratch, thanks to a recipe I found in a Norwegian cookbook called Alt Asiatisk 2 - Enkelt, raskt og godt by Elisabeth Le. She also writes the food blog called Alt Asiatisk , so if you understand Norwegian and enjoy various types of Asian cuisine, it's worth checking out. As I didn't have any skewers, I couldn't put the pieces of chicken on those, but it made making this dish a bit less of a hassle in one way. Personally, I found the recipe fairly easy overall and most, if not all, ingredients could be found at either a regular grocery store or at least a well stocked supermarket, which is always a bit neat. Regardless, the end result was really tasty and I'm sure I'll make it again some time. The only thing is that one need to plan a bit ahead, as the chicken needs to...
