Salmon Lasagna With Squash And Asparagus

I've finally created something in the kitchen from one of my cookbooks again. As I had some salmon I wanted to use up, I decided making salmon lasagna with squash and asparagus from Trines mat (Trine's Food) by Trine Sandberg.

The recipe was easy enough, although slightly time consuming and probably better to make during the weekend. Another slight issue was, I don't know if it was because I used the wrong dish or something, but the sauce didn't go all the way to the top so to speak, so the top layer with lasagna pasta got crispy and slightly burned instead of cooked when in the oven. So yeah, I had to remove the top layer of lasagna pasta before eating.

It tasted okay though, perhaps slightly flavourless in my opinion, but perhaps it is because I enjoy using a lot more herbs and spices. That said, if if made correctly, I wouldn't be surprised if even kids might like it, due to the mild taste (if they enjoy eating fish and veggies, that is). But for me? I'd probably need more sauce and more herbs and spices.

Acehnese Chicken With Curry Leaves

As there was a combined Asian and Middle-Eastern grocery store that has finally opened in the small coastal town where I live, it made it a lot easier for me finding some non-western cooking ingredients that the "regular" grocery stores and supermarkets don't have. One of those things being curry leaves, which meant I could finally make Acehnese Chicken with Curry Leaves from the cookbook named Coconut & Sambal by Lara Lee. While this was perhaps a slightly more complicated and time-consuming recipe, it was still fairly easy to make. Even with A LOT of chili in it, it didn't taste too overpowering spicy hot, but I do enjoy when the food has a kick to it. I can admit I'm more used to Thai, Chinese, and Indian food, so I do enjoy trying something a bit different from time to time, and I'll probably make this one again some time.

Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup

As it's autumn and thus soup season, I looked through my cookbooks and decided I wanted to make a Thai-inspired chicken soup I found in a Norwegian cookbook named "Matmisjon - Ekte mat fra ti matbloggere" edited by Hanne Stensvold. The recipe I used was one of those that's fairly easy to follow, and the only adjustment I needed to do was not using as much stock/water, as I didn't quite have enough room in the pot, but it produced several portions of soup anyway, so it wasn't a big deal really. The soup itself had some warmth and kick to it, as I used both red curry paste and a chopped chili in it, which is rather nice on a cold autumn day. A big bonus is that as it's made from scratch, rather than being one of those soup-mix things, is that it was a bit filling too (I feel that a lot of times, those soup mixes doesn't quite cut it). I dare say this is one of those recipes I'd love to make again.

Panko Crusted Cod

Sometimes I'm craving a bit of seafood, so I found a recipe for panko crusted cod with a salad in a Norwegian cookbook titled "Karlas kjøkken - hverdagsmat på menyen" (roughly translated as Karlas Kitchen - Weekday Food On The Menu). Both the fish and the salad was easy enough to make, but I didn't bother making the remoulade as I had some sour cream in the fridge I wanted to use up before it expired. Also, I made some homemade mashed potatoes to make the dish a little bit more filling. Overall I dare say it was a nice meal. Not the most spicy by any means, but it was good nontheless.
