Ginger Garlic Grilled Salmon Recipe

May 20, 2013 By Sarah Leave a Comment

Ginger Garlic Salmon

 

This isn’t the first time I’ve written about a Ginger Garlic Sauce. I’m for sure obsessed with the combination of fresh garlic and fresh ginger, but this is the most addicting version to date. (Although I have a slow cooker version in the works, stay tuned!). Adding this sauce to a classic grilled salmon recipe is a home run for weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts with company.

Our family is trying to incorporate more heart-healthy salmon into our diets lately.  It is important to buy wild salmon vs. farmed because farmed salmon can be infected with lice (!!) and treated with antibiotics. Wild is definitely my choice if you can find it. Almost all grocery store fish is flash-frozen, so don’t worry about buying your salmon from the freezer case.  Just enjoy all the heart-healthy Omega-3s!

When I make grilled salmon, I use 1 6-oz salmon fillet per person, because it’s so delicious everyone eats a whole piece. This recipe works for 4-6 fillets 6-oz fillets. This is a great dish to make for company because it tastes like a restaurant dish but can be made in less than 20 minutes! I like to serve it with some brown rice and lightly sauteed snow peas.

For the sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Wisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.

Ginger Garlic Sauce

To prepare the salmon:

Using a brush, thoroughly coat your raw salmon fillets (both sides). Reserve some of the sauce, and use it to baste the salmon with while it’s being grilled. Grill time is approximately 6-8 minutes per side. The salmon should just be cooked through but NOT overcooked.  Salmon is delicate so make sure to keep an eye on it.

Tiny Prints Birth Announcements and Baby Shower Invitations {Giveaway}

May 16, 2013 By Sarah 7 Comments

Even though it was over 5 years ago and I had a serious case of pregnancy brain, I remember my baby showers for my son Mason, with remarkable clarity.  One was at a hotel banquet room, one was at my mother’s house, and one was a card and a cake handed to me by my colleagues as we were grading English Regents exams (which sounds impersonal but was actually perfect). What I don’t remember? The Baby shower invitations, nor did I use a birth announcement.

I had no idea at the time this picture was taken, at my final baby shower, that my son was going to be born in just 48 hours at 36 weeks gestation!

Aquaphor Baby Review & $100 Giveaway to 1800Flowers

May 15, 2013 By Sarah 42 Comments

Last weekend we celebrated Mother’s Day. I’ll be honest, before I was a mom myself I never really appreciated my mom as much as I should have. I’m sure that is common, but I sure hope that my daughter doesn’t say the things to me that I said to my mom growing up! Aquaphor Baby cares about moms, and challenged me to share the top 5 ways my mom has supported and inspired me:

1. By her complete support, even when it costs time, money, and dignity. My mom went to EVERY single orchestra concert I was in for over 10 years, even when I’m sure it was painful, boring, or excruciatingly long.

2. By sticking up for my decision to cloth diaper my kids, even when other family members and friends thought I was being hippy-dippy.

3. By being there every afternoon when I came home from school, even when I was in high school. It made a big difference to me.

4. By not freaking out when I skipped pre-calc a few times my senior year of high school. I like that she took the long view in that instance.

5. By always being on my side, even when I am being straight up ridiculous.

Aquaphor also cares about moms and babies. Aquaphor recently provided me with full-size samples of their Baby Healing Ointment and Gentle Wash & Shampoo to try out with my children.  There are two reasons why I agreed to try these Aquaphor products: because they are rated as “low risk” on the EWG’s Skin Deep Database, and because my son has extremely sensitive skin and suffers from eczema. We are always looking for creams or ointments to ease the itching and rashiness.

First we tried the Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment (Rated 1 on EWG Skin Deep – very low risk). I like that the ointment has NO fragrance, preservatives, or dyes.  It is also multipurpose — I can use it on my son’s chapped cheeks or his rashy elbows. We’re finally diaper-free in our house, but you could use it as a diaper rash cream (although if you use cloth diapers, you’ll want to use a liner). Here is my son’s arm after applying Aquaphor healing ointment. It is so soothing on his dry, scaly skin!

We also got to try out the Gentle Wash & Shampoo. It  is a soap-free, fragrance-free and tear-free formula that gently cleanses skin and hair. I know my kids aren’t babies, but I still use the 2-in-1 skin & hair products with them, simply because it is easier for me (and it is all about me, right? Right??).

Aquaphor Baby Shampoo

I like that the Gentle Wash really is gentle. It rates a 2 on the EWG’s Skin Deep Database, which means it is low-risk. When you have a child with very sensitive skin, the safety of every single ingredient becomes paramount.  In fact, sometimes, I just use  water and a washcloth on my 5 year old son, so I don’t irritate his skin with too much soap. And he’s a BOY — he NEEDS some soap!  I feel good about being able to use the Aquaphor Gentle Wash every day because I know it’s not going to be drying or irritating for him.

Aquaphor Baby Giveaway

 

Would you like to win an Aquaphor Prize Pack containing Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment, Aqupahor Gentle Wash & Shampoo and ONE (1) $100 1-800-FLOWERS gift card?
