Sunday it was my mom's birthday, and we celebrated by having dinner with friends and family. My Godmother Jackie came with her partner Juliet and their two kids, Toshi and Jackson. My Auntie Jane came as well. My sister made a great salmon dinner topped with pea tendrils (pea sprouts) with snap peas on the side. The marinade for the salmon was made up of the soy sauce and ginger. I was assigned to grate the ginger. She let the salmon soak in the marinade for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, she sauteed the snap peas and the pea sprouts. She broiled the salmon for 6 minutes, and then she put the pea sprouts and peas on the cooked salmon. She also roasted fingerling potatoes, nicely seasoned with olive oil, salt and thyme.
I took a bite of the salmon and it was really good. I could have fainted. Actually I was impressed that my sister was able to create a dish from a recipe in Bon Apetit magazine. I was eating a piece of the best thing in the world. I could live off of that dish. I even took it for lunch the next day!
After Juliet made an amazing cake. It had a fish on it with a hook in its mouth, because my mom loves fishing. Juliet is a great baker and she is so fun. I had a bite and went crazy. It was so rich and good. I love her and my sister. My mom felt so special when she was eating and opening presents.
