I have kinda, sorta, been doing that but never in the same pot. Usually I start with a base of olive oil and heat up frozen cod with a bit of celery, tomatoes, sofrito topped with all the greens in the fridge that need to be used up. We always do rice, quinoa, or pasta on the side.
My easy meal when I don't feel like cooking is:
Baked Sweet Potatoe, Upside-Down Frozen Steelhead, and a side veggie. Prep time 20-min tops if you have the frozen fillets.
Buy fresh farm-raised steelhead fillets with the skin on, rinse them off and pat dry (this is one farm-raised fish that is very good and a lot cheaper than Copper or King Salmon). Rub some of your favorite liquid smoke on the fillets, and cut up into individual portions if necessary. Freeze in zip-locks or plastic wrap for use later. I buy four pounds at a time (whole fillets, I cut them up myself).
Upside-Down Frozen Steelhead: Place the thickest part of the fillet meat side down on top of a pat of butter in a non-stick skillet. Pour Manjo Aji Mirin over each fillet, about 1/4 to 1/3 cup, making sure to wet the skin. Bake at 350 until liquid begins to caramelize on the bottom -- if you use convection caramelization will happen faster. You can start this in a hot or cold oven. Be very careful if you use unfrozen fish, or fish without natural oils like cod - use more butter or olive oil underneath.
This Pacific Northwest gal is picky about her salmon being fresh. Fresh Copper River is the best, but you can't get it fresh year around, fresh King and Coho is good too - if it stinks, it's not fresh. There is also the question of buying an unnamed "salmon" in a restaurant - it's usually Chum Salmon. In these parts "Chum" is what you grew up using as bait for other water-borne catches. I never order salmon in a restaurant.
Amazing recipe! I love quinoa. Also…I find it so in character that Alito threw his wife under the bus! But he is TOTALLY apolitical and can rule without prejudice in Trump’s cases. (Excuse me. I’m on the floor now laughing hysterically.
This sounds yummy and satisfying. My go to for nights when I'd prefer not to cook is always eggs. Scrambled, omelette, frittata, or fried with crispy edges. And Alito should have the decency to be ashamed of himself for his actions and for blaming his wife. He clearly thinks we're stupid and has zero integrity. The SCOTUS is in serious trouble- and we are along with them.
I did not know this! "Getting nutrients from whole foods is better than supplements, because we know that often it’s the combination of eating foods together that provides the best aborption, aka bioavailability." Super cool.
Thank you, thank you for these ideas! I live alone, was contemplating dinner, having done my salmon meal last night - blackened, broiled salmon, butter lettuce salad and a glass of cab. My other go to meal is a tomato, avocado, gratings of Trader Joe garlic grinder and olive oil. To that, depending on mood, sweet onion, cheese of some kind, a can of tuna in olive oil. But needed some new ideas. Yes, will make quinoa.

This recipe looks amazing, and will be dinner tonight with half a dozen fresh eggs poached on top.

My husband calls it Pasta ala Sharon. I always have penne Parmesan, and canned tomatoes. Anything else depends on what’s in the fridge.
I love quinoa so that looks healthy and good, and I can add to it. How can you ever say no to Bosco. More chiken and cheez, please.
The recipe sounds so easy and healthy! And , of course, always blame the wife …
Lazy night meal, past with garlic and olive oil with whatever veg is in the fridge.
This is brilliant!!
Of course cheese and "chiken" come before anything else. Just add a little love and she's in heaven.

How about when you’re bored of cooking and eating?
I have learned many delicious ways to cook

Why is there an alito flag Para in the middle of a quinoa recipe?
You didn’t dampen her substack in my opinion; you delicately humanized & personalized it. 🙏🏼
