Adventures of a Bookish Foodie: Salivating Over Salmon

Silverspoons & Plasticforks
There's something fishy about summer and this weeks cozy chef, Canadian, Author, Shelique Lize thinks it's Grilled Salmon with Brown Sugar and Soy Sauce Recipe! Salmon is one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fats and the high fat content keeps it moist even when slightly overcooked—so it’s a perfect option for the intense heat of the grill. Anyone who knows me personally will attest that I hate cooked salmon. I could eat salmon sashimi all day, however, this recipe has me reconsidering. I just might have to give it a try.

A little trivia: Did you know mid-summer is the best time of year to find wild Pacific king salmon—the premier, largest, and most full-flavored species. I didn't. According to Cooking Light, Sockeye and coho salmon are also abundant during summer months and offer a milder flavor.



Ingredients:
  • 1 – 1.5 lbs. salmon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
Directions:
1) Whisk all ingredients for marinade together (garlic, salt, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, olive oil). Place salmon in large zip lock bag and pour marinade in; swish around to coat all sides. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 1-2 hours.
2) When grill is heated, place salmon on and grill 6-8 minutes per side, or until salmon is flaky. Serve and enjoy.

Genres: Paranormal, Romance, Suspense

Book Description:

Justice Labelle always had her life perfectly planned.

Her goals were to graduate from University and get into law school.

Then one day, Justice tried to kill herself.

Well, not her technically. It may have been her body, but those actions weren’t intentional and the suicidal thoughts were not hers. Or, so she keeps telling her therapist and family. Justice is afraid she’s losing her mind and just wants to forget everything. But when her best friend is murdered, another one is being mind-screwed by a Vampyre, and her ex is back in town, looking as scrumptious as ever and very suspicious, maybe she isn’t all that crazy!

It’s that time of year again! #Pitmad. The Twitter contest that's held four times per year. It's a game changer. The next one is Thursday June 4th from 8AM to 8PM EST.

Today I'm interviewing bestselling author Marie Lavendar who prefers a gel pen to a keystroke and a journal page to a computer.

When asked if she had any quirks she admitted that while she doesn't write in the shower, she does find herself working on scenes in there. I had to agree...this happens to me all the time.  Desiree Edwards has a problem. She’s been attacked, kidnapped and forced to get along with a vampire of all things. It’s something right out of the story books she reads, or her worst nightmare. But, sometimes he’s not the monster he appears to be. He seems so humanlike that she can’t help it when her emotions betray her, when her body betrays her. To make matters worse, she finds out more about herself than she ever wanted to know. She was unlike any other… Alec has a problem. The animal in him wants Desiree. But, so does the man. The more he learns about her, the harder it is to deny what he wants. But, he’s a freak, and she’s just a human. The two species don’t mix that way. Then an old enemy surfaces and Alec is forced to make a choice. His life or hers. Can Alec’s soul be saved by

SO YOU WANT TO BE A BESTSELLING AUTHOR?

Time to summarize my life like the back of one of my book jackets—of course my life is slightly lackluster when being compared to one of my characters. Only slightly though, after all it's hard to compete with an adventurous private investigator who travels the world breaking up esoteric mayhem. Then there’s the fact that I find it challenging to summarize my career path—perhaps because I've never done just one thing. I’m a Published Author, Freelance Writer, and Digital Media Specialist—but that’s just the jumping off point. I’m also a Mom, Wife, Blogger, Book Reviewer, Lover of Century Homes and a Health & Fitness Nut. In the past I earned my living as an intellectually curious marketing professional who helped small to medium sized businesses understand and navigate the digital space by creating and executing marketing plans. Sometimes this was as simple as a Search Engine Marketing Campaign, other times it meant Website Consultation, Design, Content Devel
