Ok fine, phone, chill out. He’s not even up yet. I also have hours to go before class – don’t judge me! 😆

Why did I decide it was a good idea to eat breakfast outside this morning? It was *only* 106 and they have portable air cons, but still … it was delicious, though. I had basically breakfast pizza – manakesh (kind of like a pizza) topped with muhamarra + a side of fried eggs and a no-sugar lemon mint (think aggressive lemonade blended with fresh mint). 10/10 would eat (inside) again.

We will call this my early August make. Hand sewed the top – actually just a half top – this past week to go with my dirndl.

Still snuggly (as always) but feeling better. No idea what was wrong with my little love but he had a rough couple days. He’s happy to be back on normal food.

Salmon & Fruits Salad

Salmon and an aggressive amount of Summer fruit sounds like an odd pairing, but the fat in the fish really works well with the sweetness of the fruit.

Salmon & Fruits Salad

Salmon steaks – I had 2 pre-portioned steaks and used those

Garlic powder

Sweet paprika powder

Dried oregano

Salt & pepper

Lemon juice

A little oil

I preheat my air fryer to 400c for 3 mins, sprinkled the flesh side of the fish liberally with the spices and lemon juice and placed in the heated basket skin side down. I then hit the fillets with a couple blasts garlic oil and cooked for 4 mins. I de-skinned my fillets to serve.

While the salmon was going, I chucked the salad in a large bowl:

1/2 -1 cup watermelon, cut into bite-sized pieces

20 cherries, pitted and sliced

10-12 strawberries, hulled and quartered

2 nectarines, pitted and chopped

2 tsp each of fresh chopped: mint, cilantro & chives

1 tsp dried dill (fresh would be better but I used what I could find)

I tossed all with a dressing from:

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp fruity vinegar (my current is ume plum)

2 tsp sweetener (my current is coconut syrup)

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp chili powder

Generous cracks salt & pepper

I finished my salad with sprinkles of flaked almond and my current favorite spicy topper – togarishi

Makes 2 big salads but could stretch with more fish

My poor little not feeling great man – hoping his stomach is actually on the mend and he gets to keep his banana & rice dinner
