Salmon Steaks with Hoisin Glaze pg. 301


5 Toasts

My personal trainer suggested I go on the paliolithic diet. That's right I can only eat things that cave people eat. No to bread, chips, salsa anything that wasn't around then. You can google it for the details. Considering I sit at work for 8 hours and then 1 1/2 hours on the subway each way to work you can imagine the reason for this change of eating habits.

So tonight I thought we would make something that fits the diet - last night was pasta and grilled cheese.

My tips for making this dish:
- remember to reserve some of the marinade for basting
- don't grab the hot cookie sheet with your bare hand
- remember that your oven is old and the broiler rack falls when you pull it out
- change out of your fancy dress pants before cooking
- pools of marinade on the tray burn so don't pour too much

The salmon is nice with a arugula salad and balsamic dressing. I decided to skip going to the gym tonight. Anyone watching Modern Family?

  1. I saw the guy who started wrote a book about that diet on Jon Stewart. Kinda wacky stuff, but it's pretty much just like a low-carb diet imo.

    I couldn't stick to any diet that didn't let me drink booze!! Hahaha. Good luck tho.

    Also, this dinner looked yummy.
