Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is…Repurpose + Reuse!
Hope your week has been treating you well! I’m halfway into my ER rotation right now and most of my shifts are on evenings/nights, so my schedule is all messed up. On the plus side, if I need to run errands and such, the places I need to go to are still actually open, so at least there’s that!
I like to try to reduce waste whenever possible, and since I like to cook in bulk to save time, repurposing old recipes to make new ones is a wonderful idea all around. :]
This recipe was invented at night, which is when Linda and I used to eat because…say hello farm chores and other aspects of work + life during daylight hours! We tended to eat whilst standing around the kitchen counter, although sometimes, we’d actually get to sit down. (I miss this a lot. :[ )
Grilled Salmon with Gazpacho Topping
Ingredients:
(Salmon)
- 1 salmon fillet
- sprinkle of sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- squeeze of lemon
(Topping)
- 2-3 tbsp Auntie Linda’s Garden Fresh Gazpacho
- fresh avocado slices (to taste)
- fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Put a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with some olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Add the salmon and squeeze in lemon + season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Grill the salmon until it flakes easily + is cooked through (~3-4 min on each side).
- Let salmon rest for ~5 minutes before topping with gazpacho, avocado slices, and cilantro.
- Serve hot!
End-of-Week-ish Recap!
- This month’s Recipe ReDux was on creating a recipe reminescent of a favorite vacation! I loved my recent trip to Hawai’i, so I made a 3-ingredient recipe for a popular tropical juice: the Hawaiian POG Drink!
- Have you ever had kombucha? I finally got to try it in the form of LIVE Soda Kombucha drinks! Check out my review and don’t forget to enter my giveaway on instagram for a chance to win coupons to try it for free!
- What’s something that you like to cook in bulk?
- How would you repurpose it for another recipe?

I am totally making this for dinner this weekend!! I think I’ll made my own gazpacho! Thanks for the lovely simple idea!!
Author
Yay! Anytime, and I hope you like it! <3
I don’t care for gazpacho, which is weird as I love all the ingredients. Maybe I’ll try this instead! Good luck with that rotation!

It happens! :O I hope you like this one if you get a chance to try it out!
Two more weeks left, but then I’m being sent off to OB (sigh)!
Salmon is my favorite fish and I love gazpacho so I’m sure I’d love them together!

Gotta love it when that happens–most of my meals aren’t usually very pretty! :P
I LOVE salmon and I cook in bulk for most of my main meals. Yeah.. I feel ya..ER shifts can be all over the place and really mess with your schedule. It sounds like yours have been consistently at night though? Which is a bit easier on the body, but still tough. I agree though..at least you can get errands done during normal hours which otherwise never happens lol.

I need to go get some salmon! (My wallet cries every time I see it at the grocery store though, haha. ._. ) I have two night/evening shifts, a day shift, and a late morning shift so it’s a little all over the place but not too bad! I definitely appreciate being able to get stuff done during daylight hours–gotta take em’ wherever I can get em’! :O
This looks incredible. I love to make slow cooked soup in bulk to freeze!
Thanks for sharing. xx
