Salmon and cream cheese quesadillas

What I really wanted this morning was this:

Bagel and lox.

But I didn't have any bagels, let alone poppy seed ones. I also did not have any dill.

So, instead I used white corn tortillas to make salmon and cream cheese quesadillas.

White corn tortilla with Tofutti cream cheese and smoked salmon.

I used plenty of my favorite smoked salmon.

I sprinkled some shredded cheese over the salmon and topped it with another tortilla.

It went into a pan on medium high heat until it was nicely browned on both sides.

It came out gooey and cheesy and I loved the salty bite of the smoked salmon. 

This was a great way of getting in my weekly dose of salmon. 

 I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!
 

Things I need to work on and some salmon

I definitely have cooking a steak to perfection mastered but I am still working on cooking a salmon filet just right.

Grilled salmon over salad and steamed broccoli.

The recipe I always use when I cook salmon can be found here.

It always turns out scrumptious and very pretty.

But the problem I have is my cooking. I either overcook (like today) or undercook the fish. One day I will get this perfected. And then I will include a recipe.


I grabbed a big bunch of baby lettuce and tossed it with some of my miso dressing and added in some steamed broccoli.


The salmon had been marinating in the fridge for 2 hours. I pulled it out and put in a pan on med-high heat for 5 minutes (which ended up being too long (((). 

Writing is going well today - thank goodness. 

I was talking to someone today who commented that a person has to have complete confidence in the value of their work or they will never be able to take the risks or grab the opportunities that could propel them to success.

I am going to work on that too...
