I don’t even have an excuse for my tardiness this time! Can I use the acquisition of two new gadgets as the defense? Wii has been taking up a lot of my time and energy lately, it is totally cool and super-addictive. Also, I finally bought the iPhone and I am hooked!! For all the fellow iPhone owners out there, I have updated this site to be iPhone-friendly, so if you are stuck at an airport or something, feel free to browse around. Check the bottom of this post for some screen shots.

On the kitchen front, I’ve been cooking a lot of simple quick fix healthy meals lately, as part of my pre-new-year resolution to get back in shape. I haven’t been taking too many pictures though, but here is one real easy one with big flavors and very little effort!

Ingredients

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 375F.

Combine the chili, turmeric, yogurt, lemon juice, dill and salt in a cup and mix well to make the marinade. Brush the marinade liberally on both sides of the salmon filets.

Lightly grease a baking sheet or a non-stick oven-proof pan with some olive oil.

Place the salmon filets flat in the pan, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes on one side. Turn and bake for another 10-15 minutes till the salmon filets are flaky.

You can finish up on the stove top to crisp the outside if needed, if not serve as is with the juices and marinade from the pan spooned over.

I served this with some green beans sautéed with garlic and chili flakes. A great low carb meal, and it is ready in a jiffy!

    You have a pre new year resolution? Then what are you going to do when you are hungover after New Years?
    Anywhoo, salmon falls into the sparse category of food that is actually good for you and not completely awful so a new way to fix it is always welcome.

    Hi Sig,

    Fish … yum yum … though I personally prefer to splurge on packed seafood (I cannot, absolutely cannot, stand the smell of fish, which of course eliminates any sort of raw-fish-handling), I’ve realised that the stuff they put in the giant freezers here has been dead for over 2 weeks, though well within expiry dates.

    Have to still rely on that ‘ole fallback … AMMA. LOLOL

    Pic is great and I bet the fresh fillet tastes even greater…thanx for a new quick fix dinner! (Although I know the beans will be sadly sidelined… ah, well.)

    My husband would love to have both… the wii and the iphone and has been pondering over buying them for a while now.
    That does sound like a very healthy meal…

    Happy Holidays Sig.

    Tell me about it. I know how addictive the Wii can be, I see DD!!
    The salmon bake looks great and the green beans look very attractive but I am not a big fan unless they are cooked beyond recongnition.
