Spicy mayo grilled mackerel

I’m generally reluctant to grill fish, especially without a fish basket, because of the sticking-falling-apart-burnt-outside-raw-inside aspect. But this is a pretty foolproof way to grill: the spicy mayo keeps it from sticking, and grilling fillets instead of whole fish makes it a lot easier to figure out when it’s done. Start to finish this definitely takes 30 minutes or less. Unless you’re having problems with your grill (which I did the night I grilled this. But it made me feel very modern independent woman to fix it.)

Jens made a black-bean bok choy stir fry to go along with it, and he made the spicy mayo. I basically stood over the grill getting fish smoke on me. Recipe after the jump. read more »

The one that started the blog

California Roll Quinoa SaladDeconstructed California Roll Quinoa Salad.

Ingredients:
regular and red quinoa, cooked in vegetable or chicken broth in rice cooker
cucumbers, cut into batons
cherry tomatoes
avocado
sprouted grains
crab (from a can, not too bad actually)
green onion

Dressing: rice vinegar and soy sauce

Me: “What was your inspiration?” Jens:”Tell me what you think it was!” I take a bite, and I respond, “California Roll!”

He was practically giddy that I realized what he was going for. And that was when I realized, I should start a food blog to document his cookery. A few weeks later, here we are.
