Here's a before and after. The salmon steaks were marinated with salt/black pepper, light soy, parsley, olive oil, lime juice/skins & shallots and garlic. Place them under a hot grill for about 6 minutes, turn off heat and leave in oven for about 2 minutes to finish cooking. Don't worry if the salmon look too pink/raw in the middle when you remove them from the oven; the remaining heat in the dish and within itself will finish cooking the fish beautifully.
Like this. See how tender it is inside. Not a minute less, not a minute more. My kids shared 3 pieces of salmon between the two of them.
Mark's portion.

We had assorted mixed lettuce, smoked salmon, tinned sockeye salmon, corn, garbanzo beans, broad beans, home made croutons (olive oil/garlic) and hard boiled eggs.
And on to a completely different note, here is a watch I'll be wearing for a while - Dad's oyster perpetual datejust showing a lot of wear and tear; it's going into the watch hospital in Tong Building, Singapore soon for a new crystal, new hands, complete servicing and maybe a new bracelet (I've just had a temporary leather bracelet put in so I can wear it) - the current stainless steel bracelet with fold over link is too loose and cannot be shortened anymore. Dad wore it everyday of his life for almost 50 years.
I think this has to be the coolest most vintage watch we'll ever own with great sentimental value.
p.s Bed soon - good book awaits, kids watching a crazy Cantonese comedy from the 80s, and I have a garage sale to go to tomorrow morning - Can I handle any more excitement? * sigh of contentment *.. :-)
