A pack of 4 Lidl salmon fillets has a use by date of tomorrow; for tonight I prepared a paste of crushed garlic, demerara sugar, Lea & Perrins and my own secret blend of cajun seasoning - so secret, I can't remember all the proportions or even some of the spices used.
This wonder paste was spread on top of the fillets, which were fried skin side down in a hot, very lightly oiled frying pan, then finished under the grill. Served with new potatoes and organic broccoli, which was so organic things were crawling out of it as I sliced the stem and separated the florets. Delicious, though Mrs Poacher didn't eat the skin on hers. She cut it into 4 to offer to badgers / foxes, whichever turns up first.
I threw the skin from the kitchen door. Unfortunately the washing line coincided with their trajectory, and only 2 of the 4 made it to the lawn.
Tomorrow will probably be tandoori style; which was greeted appreciatively last time I made it. Another of those experimental "recipes" which are never the same twice, so finger crossed.
 
Pasta with green beans and homemade basil & walnut pesto.
 
Omelette filled with stir fried radish and salad leaves with sesame & soy, and szechuan noodles with vegetables.

Meal choice was driven somewhat by stuff that needed using - an ancient pouch of szechuan tomato stir fry sauce I found in the cupboard while looking for something else, the last two eggs, and some rather tired radishes and salad leaves. The veggies were just some of the ratatouille dolloped into the stir fry sauce.
