Salmon is one of my favorite fish. I used to use a recipe from Whole Foods where I made slits into the salmon fillet to stuff it with dried (or fresh) basil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and topped with some lemon wheels, baked it. Quite delish.

Tonight’s dish, however was slightly different. Basil was sprinkled all over and baked with extra virgin olive oil, baked, and then topped with fresh cilantro.

I’m a big fan of yams (sweet potatoes). Back in my dad’s hometown in 台山, there’s a phrase “go plant yams” to tell someone off. It basically means “go die” because the way yams are planted in rows with the soil in little mounds looks like fresh burial grounds. Hehe but that’s not the reason I like yams of course. They’re great as a side with rice. We cut the yam into pieces and then chuck them in with the rice in the rice cooker and then steam them together.
