Adding lemon zest for vibrant flavor and for the vitamin C.
I didn’t have fresh basil so used the emergency cube. When I have a lot herbs and I know I am not going to used them immediately I freeze them in cubes with olive oil. I have mint, parsley, cilantro, tarragon and basil, just in case…
The salmon was ready to be bake with a crust of whole grains.I found it at the whole food market, a frozen mix with cranberries, almonds, quinoa, barley and wheat berries. In this case I also bought it for an emergency fast meal. I seasoned the wild salmon with teriyaki sauce, added the crust and of course, lemon peel. Fast and ready to bake!
This is an other pasta which I love with olive oil, garlic, baby heirloom tomatoes, parmigiano Reggianno, fresh arugula and lemon zest.
A breakfast cake with olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice and peel. You can really feel the flavor of yogurt and the olive oil. I adore the topping, lemon and lime zest with brown sugar. Total deligh with a cup of tea. Total deligh with a cup of tea.
Back to basic and simplicity. Every thing with lemon, after having all kinds of tea for a chest congestion that lasted several weeks my desire for lemon continues. Pasta with lemon zest, salmon with lemon peel and even a cake with lemon. I have to tell you about this pasta.
