Girl on the go!

I am currently waiting in line at the post office so I thought I'd put in an entry on my home made dinner the other night. The menu was : honey marinated salmon with lemon and garlic dressed salad.
It somehow turned out amaze balls even though I just whacked everything in. I guess gut instincts deserve more credit:)
First I marinated my atlantic salmon steaks in honey, salt and pepper for about 3 hours. Then I pan sealed in till it was a bit golden on the outside, usually takes about 10 minutes. Then I placed it in an oven proof bowl and splashed some lemon juice in in, a few cloves of garlic and chuck it in the oven for about another 10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
I then took out my oven roasted garlic and mixed it in with my dressing. In my dressing besides the garlic there was lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Then assemble it all on top of your salad bowl. I made a baby spring leave mix and avocado. Also I made lemon dressing to go with it because avocado and salmon are both quite 'fatty' so something sharp in taste to cut through it would work out perfectly. For example, in this case, lemon. Or balsamic vinegar:)
Okay enough talk now for some pictures! :D
