The pretty awesome sandwich that I can't take a picture of right now

I am moving to London in a week and most of my stuff is already packed away in boxes / at my parents' house. This seems to include my camera, so for the time being this post will have to do without an image.

Sandwich with Smoked Salmon, Honey-Mustard-Sauce & Rocket
(serves 1)
  • your choice of bread, I think something chewy like a bagel is great
  • cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill
  • a couple of leaves of rocket
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • smoked salmon
  1. In a small cup, combine honey, mustard and dill until you have a creamy sauce.
  2. Spread cream cheese on both halves of your bread.
  3. Top one half with smoked salmon und the honey-mustard-sauce, then add the rocket, tomatoes and finally the other half of the bread. De-li-cious and healthy.

Pan-fried Fish with Lemongrass & Garlic

This dish was inspired by a recipe I found in Luke Nguyen's book "The Songs of Sapa" - he originally used tofu but I thought it would be great with fish, too and the results where more than satisfactory.

Pan-fried Fish with Lemongrass & Garlic
(serves 2)

- 2 fish fillets (I used Pangasius - you want something that is mild in flavour)
- 6 stalks lemongrass (white parts only), very finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- pinch of salt
- pepper

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl, then rub onto the fish. Place fillets in a hot, well oiled pan and fry until both sides are golden brown. Serve with rice and a side of chinese broccoli.
