Salmon served with a Few Twists

I absolutely love salmon and cook it all the time when I home. My favorite way to prepare salmon is to grill it with a honey and soy sauce glaze. The salmon tastes great every time. My friend came over to help me with this delicious dinner. She introduced me to kale chips which were very tasty besides being healthy too. (I forgot to take a picture of the kale chips, probably because I was too busy munching on them).

I was inspired by a beet salad I ate at Johnny’s Tavern in Amherst, MA which came with candied pecans and wanted to make my own version of this yummy salad. I splashed a little pomegranate vinegar on some chopped beets and added diced scallions and pecans which I candied in maple syrup.

My friend and I also made parsnip purée with sautéed shiitake mushrooms. I know this combo sounds bizarre (strange ideas pop in my head), but I really enjoyed the purée. All in all, a healthy and delicious dinner.
