Today's lunch: grilled salmon wrap (notes in post) (media.piefed.social)

It was orange-on-orange-on-orange!

INGREDIENTS:

  • grilled salmon dry rubbed with sea salt, pepper and ground sage
  • roasted orange bell pepper & pearl onions, with grilled cukes
  • drizzled with ghost pepper ranch dressing, topped with fresh shaved ginger and turmeric root
  • La Banderita wraps are a mere 60kcal, and taste pretty good

NOTES:

  • baked the salmon in AF, finished on stovetop spiral element (quite handy!)
  • a little smoke sauce probably would have helped, there
  • wasabi instead of ranch would pair better with the fresh roots
  • made an extra effort to keep stuff dry, as everything came out wet at first
  • those wraps are primarily made out of resistant wheat & potato flour, and should usually be wetted first to bring out more flavor; nothing much happens to them while toasting, tho
  • turmeric powder can be pretty bitter and easy to overuse, but the fresh root version is amazingly mild, earthy and even a bit sweet; I recommend finding ways to use it
  • squash was unusually expensive for some reason, but cukes were a reasonable sub, provided one doesn't over-grill

grilled cukes

I have never had cucumbers cooked this way, I will have to try it! This meal sounds great. I had a Frybread "taco" for lunch, not as good. It was free, tho!

I can't really say the cukes were better than zucchini-type squash, just a reasonable substitute. That said, a lot of fruit is pretty good when grilled or air-fried... or at least has that potential.

I'd actually wanted to grill watermelon, not cukes, but they weren't ripe at the store. They can be quite nice indeed, sprinkled with a little Tajin powder:

It's funny you bring up watermelon. A long time ago, when couchsurfing was still a thing, I hosted someone who grew up on a watermelon farm and shared all kinds of things that could be done with watermelon, including grilling! I don't remember if they mentioned Tajin, but that is something that I have anyway. I haven't thought about (or had) grilled watermelon in years. Thanks for the reminder!!
