Super-Easy Lemon Salmon with Fluffy Quinoa and Steamed Broccoli


Salmon is probably one of the easiest fish to work with. I buy mine from IKEA, frozen and filleted. This way I do not need to clean the fish

or debone it. When I was a kid, my grandfather and I used to go to IKEA and we would always order Salmon with its authentic lemon sauce. At the time, salmon was very hard to find in Turkey. We always had hamsi or seabass at home and salmon at IKEA for me was a restaurant quality dish. 

My father is not very fond of salmon therefore whenever we go to a fish market, we always end up buying hamsi. Therefore, when my parents are away, I always pop some salmon out from the freezer and prepare myself a tiny feast. 

I cannot emphasise how easy it is to cook salmon. I know that aluminium foil is not the healthiest equipment however it is very easy to clean afterwards. We always have those lazy days that we don't even want to think about the dishes that we have to clean afterwards. Plus, if you don't use aluminium foil every single day, it is okay to be lazy sometimes. 

So, here is the Super Easy Salmon in Foil Recipe with Fluffy Quinoa recipe:

Beer-Battered Fish and Chips


Hello everybody! (insert British Accent here). 

Today I am going to share one of my favourite fish dish. Guess what? It is..... "Fish and Chips". The first time I had fish and chips was many years ago, in a restaurant called Kitchenette in Istanbul. The fish was yummy and crispy. And you know that I have a thing for crispy stuff. 


However the best fish and chips I had was when I was in London last summer in a famous restaurant called Garfunkel's. Funny story, I saw the ad of the restaurant on the wall of a subway station. Then I got lost, which is pretty normal if you are not a local, and then I looked up. I was standing in front of this amazing restaurant: Garfunkel's.

So when I got home, I said, "Why not try to cook it by myself". It's been a while since I came home from London, about 5-6 months, just a little bit of time I know. What can I say? I am a little bit lazy. I thought that this was a very challenging recipe. But, it wasn't hard, however it needs time. About 1-1.5 hour. But it is definitely worth it. So, here is the recipe for  crispy beer-battered Fish and Chips. Hope you'll like it.
