Grilled salmon with teriyaki marinade, rice, broccoli

Bit of a cheat putting this on here, really, because I didn't make the marinade - it's out of a bottle. I was going to make it - I got the soy sauce, mirin and brown sugar out the cupboard - only to find that nestling behind them was a bottle of Tesco ready-made teriyaki marinade! I haven't been in much of a cooking mood lately - too many other things to do - so I decided to go with it. I did fry some ginger along with it though.

Sardines, roasted peppers and lemon ice cream in NYC

















I've been staying with family in New York for the last 10 days and cooking dinner for them every night. It was boiling hot, so I made lots of summery salady things, trying to minimise oven and hob use because it was like a furnace in that kitchen. Made lots of lovely things, only some of which we got round to photographing. In these photos (in a random order) we have:

- Tilapia fillets cooked en papillote with white wine, garlic, lemon and herbs, served with cannellini bean and roast vegetable salad
- Grilled sardines
- Tomato, basil and cucumber salad
- Mashed cannellini beans with rosemary and olive oil; tzatziki
- Roasted red and yellow peppers with garlic, olive oil and balsamic
- Homemade lemon ice cream with blueberries and strawberries
I also made a killer Boston corn chowder, but the photo didn't come out well.
