Weekend Reads
Personally on the weekends and I have a quite and relaxing morning I love to read through some cooking magazines. When I get a new one in the mail during the week it is something that I always look forward to during the weekend. Do I always find something.... no, but it almost without a doubt inspires me to get into the kitchen and whip an old favorite up or something completely new. Below are a list of some of my go to food magazines, either buy a copy or subscribe for a year you can't go wrong. Enjoy the reading and happy!!!

Crispy Rice Salmon Bowl
Serves: 3 - 4
Overall:
1h 20m
Cook:
20m
INGREDIENTS (crispy rice)
2 cups rice - cooked and 1-day
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons chili crisp
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ tablespoons red pepper flakes
½ teaspoons Chili Powder
¼ cup olive oil
INGREDIENTS (salmon)
1 pound salmon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
INGREDIENTS (salad)
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 English cucumbers - smashed
1 cup edamame - shelled
1 bunch scallions - thinly sliced green part only
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. In a bowl toss the day-old rice with the soy sauce, chili crisp, and sesame oil. Transfer the rice to the prepared sheet pan and bake the rice for 30-40 minutes, or until it's nice and crispy. Toss it halfway through, to ensure that it cooks evenly.
2. While the rice is in the oven, prepare the salmon. Season the salmon filets with the sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder, and transfer them to a baking sheet. Transfer the tray into the oven with the crispy rice, and allow the salmon to bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
3. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Use a fork to shred it into pieces, then set it aside. Then, remove the crispy rice from the oven and set it aside.
4. Smash the Persian cucumbers in a bag with a rolling pin and add them to a large bowl. To that same large bowl add the edamame, green onions, and avocado. Add in the shredded salmon and the crispy rice to the bowl with the salad.
5. Finally, prepare the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients (the olive oil, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ground ginger, and sea salt) to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the dressing on top of the salad, then toss to fully combine.
NOTE: store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to three days.
