Cedar planked salmon with yogurt dill sauce, curried cauliflower puree and broccoli – August 12, 2012

Tonight is the night before weigh-in. That means no GBOF (giant bowl of food) regardless of how low in fat and high in fiber it is. We settled on salmon. We buy it frozen here in St. George. It’s a safer bet. John prepped the salmon and arranged it on a pre-soaked cedar plank.

I pressure cooked the cauliflower. When it was done, I toasted some curry and ginger and pureed it. After that I returned it to the pot and cooked it over high heat to drive out excess water.

I also prepared some broccoli. The light green chunks are pieces of the peeled stem. The stem is just as tasty as the florets. I cooked the broccoli in a little water and added a few spritz of butter spray.

While I was inside doing the veg, John was outside cooking the salmon.

Uh oh, looks like rain. It actually did rain a little. We had real gully washers the first week we were here but today’s rain was more like the typical Utah rain – raindrops struggling to get down to the ground without evaporating first.

Dinner!
