In our effort to
eat healthier, we started mixing brown rice grains with white. I could
only eat so much. I still prefer white rice but I do hope I get used to
eating brown rice – it is actually more filling and I do not get hungry
easily. Nevertheless, to help me transition to brown rice, I should
alternate rice with something else – potatoes perhaps?
This potato dish
was inspired by a dear former officemate of mine. Even if I have rice for
lunch, I always get a piece from her potato meal. My favorite dish
to go with the potatoes is the grilled salmon. Below are the recipes:

Tip: I ensure that every potato gets its share of the basil. That is how
much basil I use.

#1: I like mine really grilled although this may overcook the
salmon. It is a matter of preference J
Kuting’s Tip
#2: In the actual cooking done, I used salmon belly. Bibi bought
these since it was cheaper than the usual salmon cut (pusta ang alam ko, di ko
alam in English hehe :) . I prefer the salmon “cut” though since the
belly tends to be very rich for my taste. I just ate grapes afterwards to
counter the strong salmon belly taste.
