We’re working on our eating habits…again. Well, I guess I should say that I am working on my eating habits again, BigBear seems to be doing just fine with his and his weight loss. *curse you slow metabolism* We’ve been working more protein into our diets and and I am trying to cut back on sweets and carbs. *Just cutting back, not eliminating them* It’s a start. *Today I totally grabbed a yogurt and fruit cup over a cupcake on my break, this is HUGE for me* 🙂
With our slow changes, I’ve of course been on the hunt for healthy but tasty recipes. Eating a wedge of lettuce just isn’t going to cut it for me. Sorry, I would be miserable.
But In my quest for healthy foods I’ve been finding a lot of good cookbook options and the one I’m sharing with you today is one of my new favorites. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook then you might already know that I have an obsession with sushi and almost all Asian foods. haha
Jaden’s cookbook, Steamy Kitchen’s Healthy Asian Favorites, has been on my “buy list” for a little bit now ( I am a horrible slacker when it comes to actually buying things, I always tell myself that I’ll do it tomorrow and then tomorrow turns into days, weeks and months lol), but then an opportunity to review it and cook from it for #SundaySupper came about and this beautiful cookbook arrived at my door ready to find a home in my kitchen.
I met Jaden last year at Disney for Food Blog Forum and I must say she is one of the sweetest people that I’ve met since I started blogging. The cookbook is beautiful and I’m so happy for her!! 🙂
On to the healthy eating! I want to share one of my favorite recipes from Jaden’s cookbook This Salmon-Honey Teriyaki! BigBear is a Salmon fan, but I hardly ever cook fish in our house. But that will now have to change!
My husband is 100% in LOVE with this recipe. He devoured it. His rating? “On a scale from 1-10 this is a 20!! I need more!!”
This is so easy to put together and it cooks in mere minutes!
Everything goes into a large resealable bag, marinates in the fridge for a few hours and then cooks in lI served this over couscous**

I love futomaki sushi rolls AND I love all the Japanese ingredients in your salmon dish, Angie!
P.s. My Twitter handle is @NinjaBaking.
Again, my favorite Asian dish is futomaki and I love all the Japanese ingredients listed in your scrumptious looking salmon.
Kudos to your self-discipline too of a fruit cup over a cupcake =)
I am also very much enjoying Jaden’s cookbook. There are so many recipes on my to-cook list.
I like that you served this over couscous. I’m so used to seeing fish over rice but this would be a delicious change. The glaze on that fish looks yummy.
This cookbook has great inspiration for healthier meals, plus you can’t beat how easy all these recipes are! Even though I’m not a salmon fan your pictures have me wanting to try a bite!
This sounds like my kind of recipe…easy AND delicious! Plus, my husband LOVES salmon. There’s a recipe he makes with coriander that we both really love. I think I just might make this one for us this week and pair it with some rice and spinach. One of my favorite Asian dishes is pad see ew. (Twitter: @kmurrayphoto)
Gorgeous salmon! I have been craving salmon and now I know what to make for dinner! Thanks for sharing!
Angie, you will become a salmonaholic just like me in no time. So glad you are enjoying the cookbook as much as I am!
These look gorgeous, Ange! I cannot wait to try this recipe 🙂 ~ Bea
Yum! I know how you feel – I am not usually a huge salmon fan, but I do like it every once in a while. I have a feeling that this is one of those recipes that would really get me into that fish…
Can you say YUM! I’m already a “salmonaholic,” so this recipe will just feed my addiction. Your presentation is so stunning and lovely.
Yup, I’m right there with your hubby – I more than adored this salmon! So yummy. And yes, adding fish and seafood to your diet is a great way to “lighten up” a bit. 🙂
I love this photo! It looks like something on top chef or something… so enticing! And proud of you for going lower carb. I’ve done it for years, and there are so many awesome substitutions out there! Thanks for sharing. And my fav. dish is Mongolian Beef and my Twitter is @GourmetDrizzles
This salmon dish looks delicious! We eat a lot of salmon here in the NW so I will have to try out this recipe for sure! Thank you for sharing! One of my favorite Asian dishes is soba noodles that are served cold with wasabi & scallions. I am looking forward to the #SundaySupper chat! @frogger097
I hate trying to lose weight, I suck at it!!! I can exercise like crazy, and usually do, but I even think about a cupcake and the scale goes up. Darn metabolism!! I wish I liked salmon, because this looks amazing, and so healthy too.
That looks fantastic! I love salmon and teriyaki together. Great for grilling, too!
Cheers to healthy eating and good for you! And so cool that you gave actually met Jaden! Your salmon looks amazing! yum!
I absolutely love Chicken & Broccoli over Fried Rice! Could eat it everyday! @CarolYemola

Yogurt and fruit cup over a cupcake?! Teach me your perseverance, my friend 🙂 We only started loving salmon recently and there’s no turning back.
dieting is the worse! i hate it. good luck. i’m on one too!
this recipe sounds amazing. i love teriyaki anything!
Don’t you just love how quick, easy and delicious the recipes are in this cookbook? I can’t wait to try out a few more.
looks so delicious!
Looks wonderful Angie! I have the book too but haven’t tried anything out of it yet. Have several earmarked though!
This was so good!! I never would have thought to mix it up. GREAT JOB!!
looks wonderful. GOOD JOB
Oh I cant wait to try this
Oh goodness. I love salmon and cant wait to try this
Such a great recipe, and the flavors are a perfect match for salmon.
I was wondering where you bought the sake at? Do they sell it in regular grocery stores?
I couldn’t find it at the regular grocery but a local Japanese restaurant sold me some 🙂 Bigger cities probably have it at their ABC store or Asian Market
