After his mom made him something similar back in Texas, Dustin told me we should make salmon with our favorite Indian spices. When we saw the first of the Copper River salmon hit the grocery store, we bought it, squeezed on a little lemon juice and spiced it with garam masala, and extra cumin and cardamom before grilling alongside some...

The Game of Thrones finale last weekend was less than epic. However, our weekly feast before the show made up for the lackluster episode. Basically we made a margarita in a large plastic Ziplock bag— lime juice, orange juice, tequila, triple sec, agave syrup, and salt— and let our fish (cod) marinate in it for about 30 minutes before grilling...

These beer glazed fish tacos were the inspiration for this healthy fish taco dish. We obviously couldn't use a local Texas beer, so we improvised with what we could find— a mango beer that we thought would go well with a citrus salsa. For a side, we ate sweet potato chips and Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt chunky guacamole, which is made with Greek...

Last time we went to the grocery store, Whole Foods had some fantastic looking tuna steaks. All of our meals for the week were already planned out, so I made a mental note that we'd have to do tuna steaks of some sort next time. I thought a sushi-inspired, seared tuna encrusted with sesame seeds sounded like the perfect dinner to enjoy on our...

I saw the addition of freshly chopped mint to a creamy pasta with smoked salmon on a menu while looking online at a restaurant we were heading to soon. It definitely piqued my interest, and I planned on ordering it, but sadly when we showed up to the restaurant, the menu had rotated and the online menu hadn't been updated. I thought it might be...

This dish was supposed to be over a bed of wild rice, but I got so focused on making the chutney and Dustin was so focused on the fish that we both totally forgot to get the rice on the stove at an appropriate time. By the time we did remember, it would have completely thrown our timing for the rest of the dinner off, so we had a simple meal of...

Halibut dinner number two was another delicious one. I think halibut goes well with just about everything, including a delicious corn and black bean salsa that we put on top. To make the salsa, combine 1/2 of a large, diced red onion, with 1 fresh tomato, 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño and cilantro, 1/2 can of drained black beans, a...

Fresh, first-of-the-season halibut has been hitting Seattle. Last weekend, our Whole Foods had a generous one day sale on halibut, so we bought several meals worth of fish and plan on making it a halibut week in this house and cook it several different ways. Might as well eat as much fresh fish as we can while we live here, right? It had also...

I made Dustin a believer in strawberry citrus salsas. We wanted a healthy, colorful dinner, and this dish really fit the bill. The salsa we created was a mixture of a handful of chopped strawberries, two small mango oranges, half an avocado, 1/4 of a large red onion, 1/2 of a seeded jalapeño, the juice of half a lime, plus liberal salt....

Back by popular demand, we now return to your regularly scheduled Wafoodie posts. Hopefully we'll be back to everyday posting again! We finally made a plan for food and actually went to the grocery store this weekend, so this week we are back to cooking after a week of eating out, travel recovery, and freaking out about where we will be living...
