Brighten your day by doing outdoor workout --Slow Cooked Salmon with Creamy Broccoli Sauce(soup)

Yesterday, I talked with a friend, he told me he started  a weigh loss plan, including  a swimming in the morning and the change in diet. I can see he is very serious, since he did a lot of research in the mechanism  about weight loss and  food nutrition. I like seeing people working on their the weight loss plan in a scientific way, it means they are serious and determined , which predicts success. He said it felt so good to drive to the pool in the early morning, I said ' then your whole day is brightened, you feel proud of yourself from the most beginning of the day' 'yeah, exactly' he was so excited.  It was his excitement that reminded me the  amazing pleasure from running outside, and I confessed that I had been cheating myself by playing in gym and I knew I didn't enjoy it very much.

So... I ran, today!  And it felt unbelievably  wonderful. I guess it is so impressive that will drive me miss the feeling so much , thus I will run more often .It is not winter yet, it is fall, the most beautiful season in Boston, go out and enjoy it as much as you can...

I learned this slow cooked salmon from steamy kitchen and the sauce is created by myself. Slow cooked salmon is to bake salmon at 200F about 25min, and it will be as pink as before it is put into the oven, but it is cooked and warm. And you will never overcook it unless you leave it in the oven for several days. I guess smoke salmon is made in the similar way. I love it to the death, seriously.

The sauce is from a soup I created, it is a no-dairy creamy broccoli soup, ( dairy is kinda banned in my diet , it is such a pain!) I used Tofu and unsweetened soymilk instead of milk and a LOT of cheese. It comes out  very good, HAPPY. Use starch to adjust the thickness.

Slow cook salmon:

Rubbed salmon with brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, lay the ginger slice on top, about 30min

( you will find out how wonderful it is when brown sugar meets ginger..)
