WIAW #5: Some Serious Salmon

 

Welcome to another WIAW, with Jenn at Peas and Crayons! Below are my eats from Monday, when I ate salmon at three meals without any intentional planning (I also had a bunch of smoked salmon left over from the weekend). I do love salmon, so it isn’t a surprise. And it comes in so many delicious forms. This day featured smoked salmon at breakfast and lunch and a filet of fresh salmon at dinner, but might just as easily have included a salmon burger or sushi. I try to think about sustainability since I prefer wild-caught salmon, but hopefully I’m doing okay!

 

Breakfast: One of my smoked salmon scrambles stuffed into a gluten-free wrap, with cucumber slices on the side. I paired this with a cup of berries for a filling morning meal. I also snacked on two slices of Muenster cheese while I was making the scramble.

Cinnamon and cream chees

 

Morning snack: I grabbed two of my apple cinnamuffins and a smear of cream cheese to take to school, and munched on them around 11am while in class. I usually go for Greek yogurt or peanut butter on my muffins in a hurry, but the cream cheese paired nicely as well, especially with the cinnamon flavor. Kind of like cheesecake frosting!

 

 

 

 

Le Pain Quotidien Jams

 

The only thing that would have made it even more delicious was a dab of jam, because I love that combination – sadly, I did not have the means to cart a jar around in my purse, though I had picked up a jar of the Blueberry Jam at Le Pain when I was there for brunch last weekend.

 

 

 

Lunch for the road

 

For lunch, I packed a salad of mixed greens with smoked sockeye salmon, feta cheese, and two grape leaves, eaten around 12:30pm. I had some baby carrots on the side, and the Greek yogurt and apple served as my afternoon snack, which I was gobbling down by 2pm.

 

 

 

 

 

A plentiful plate

 

Dinner tonight was my own kind of blue-plate special with fish, potato, and veggies all heaped together. Around 6pm, I broiled a filet of salmon with a touch of olive oil and a sprinkle of dill, and paired it with a baked Yukon Gold potato with just a dab of butter and some white Cheddar cheese melted on top. And of course, I had my mixed mirepoix of carrots, corn, peas, and green beans on the side (and on top, and rolling around all over the plate…gotta love it!)

 

 

 

 

Moist and flaky, just the way it should be

Is anything more comforting than cheesy potatoes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My little snack plate

 

Evening snack: Around 8pm, I made myself a little snack plate with an apple, some peanut butter, an Apples n’ Peanut Butter muffin, and a blueberry Greek frozen yogurt. I used the last of my little peanut butter packets for this (I save them when I get them on planes and such, and use them for meals on the go) because I realized that BOTH jars of peanut butter in my fridge were actually close to empty! I’ll be replenishing my supply ASAP…
