Food Again

Being confined to base for much of the time means that I seem to think about food more than is good for my waistline.  As a follower of Good Housekeeping Magazine on Instagram, I  was interested in a quick and easy recipe video that cropped up on my feed yesterday and thought that I would give it a try, with a few tweaks.  Here it is for anyone that may be interested.


  1. Cut salmon fillets into cubes
  2. Cut courgette into coin shape slices
  3. Mix curry paste (I didn't have any so I mixed curry powder with a squeeze of tomato puree and a squirt of lemon juice) with yogurt (I used a 0% fat Greek yogurt called Fage)
  4. Coat the salmon cubes with the curry mix
  5. Thread alternate salmon cubes and courgette slices onto skewers
  6. Grill for around 15 minutes, until salmon is cooked and crispy on the outside


I served this with a hot lemon, chive, potato and broad bean salad.

It was rated a hit by my lord and master.

    Thank God it was a hit with his lordship. I can only imagine how violent he becomes when the food you provide does not please him. At least yesterday evening you avoided his bamboo cane.

    Was it followed with G and T's on the patio? We're on beef Chilli Con Carne for tea tonight. "Spice up your life." That's what the Spice Girls said.

      The G&T came first but we had a NZ Sauvignon Blanc with it.
      How was your spicy evening?

      We had BLTs and Portuguese white wine and some Guinness. Not altogether though. It's spice night tonight.

    Sounds good. I take the magazine so might be in next months. I have everything in for the recipe - might give it a try after I have tried the Fishy Pasta (wasn't that your post too?)

    You've reminded me of Shirley Valentine now, when Pauline Collins give Bernard Hill egg and chips and he complains that it is supposed to be steak on a Thursday. She had given the steak to a neighbours dog because the owner was vegetarian and she felt sorry for it.

      Chips and egg. Hello, wall. No wonder she ran off to a Greek island.

      One of my other favourite bits is when she looks at the camera and says "I'm driving the boat".

      Mine was where she says "I think sex is like supermarkets, you know, overrated. Just a lot of pushing and shoving and you still come out with very little at the end."

      It was a very cleverly written play / film.

    This sounds delish, especially that salad, and I love the way you made up that curry paste. You're a natural in the kitchen!

    That sounds really good; I love salmon, courgettes and curry so it's bound to go down well with me!
