With the launch of our pimento cheese, I’ve been taste tasting every batch. Naturally at home, I’ve been balancing out all of that Southern goodness with some intensely flavored ethnic dishes like this Asian-inspired salmon.
With all of the last minute preparations for introducing the pimento cheese – perfecting the packaging, photo shoots with longtime friend Chris McEniry, and updating the website – it has left me little time in the kitchen at home over the past two weeks. While the girls ride their bikes in the afternoon sun (yes, thank goodness we had a few 60 degree days last weekend) I have about 30 minutes to get dinner on the table. This wonderful salmon is a cinch to make and gives me my “big city” foodie fix without traveling to Chinatown. I recommend marinating the fish the morning before work.
