Another way to cook salmon

So, I got home from volleyball today and I was exhausted. I wanted a quick dinner that was healthy but flavorful. I love taking a long time to cook (like I mentioned before, it's my favorite procrastination), but I also realized I should be taking this time to practice for real life (because let's be honest, med school is no where near reality) for when I come home and I'm exhausted but I still need to make dinner.

THUS; My salmon recipe.

I took this mix of spices that my mom gave me; it was an Indian spice mix - I think it was "Biryani" - but I think it's one of those things where who knows what's in it. But it was probably curry powder, cumin, turmeric - that kind of thing. I put some oil (half canola, half olive oil.. probably should use all canola since I pan fried my fish) and I put the spices into the oil and mixed it around. Usually I dip my fish in whatever spices/flour mixture I have. But this way, the fish picked up a very light layer of delicious spices, and the oil didn't really soak into the fish.

The salmon I used was frozen, but I had defrosted it from yesterday. I dried them off and gave them a light dusting of cornstarch (could use flour too) just so that it would get a nice crust. I put them into the pan, for about 5-6 minutes on each side. I tented them with foil when they came off as I finished my sides. It turned out, just beautifully. With the potatoes and broccoli, I was done in under 30 minutes.

I love cooking.

Btw, those are purple potatoes. They taste just like normal potatoes, but they were so little and cute (and on sale at Whole Foods) so I got them.

I also had a little avocado - but my veggies are dressed with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and some olive oil. I feel so healthy just thinking about it.
