Bring Out the Rice Cooker

If you don't have a rice cooker, get one. They are by far, in my personally opinion, the best way to cook rice. Tonight, I cooked some Basmati Rice in the cooker. I just popped in the rice, added the water, flicked on the switch, and you have cooked rice 20 minutes later.

Tonight on the menu, Alaskan Salmon with Peach Salsa and Basmati Rice. The peach salsa I made to accompany the salmon was incredible and super simple to make. Making your own salsa always tastes better than buying it pre-packaged.

Fresh Peach Salsa
Serves about 4
Ingredients:
6 fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1 large tomato, diced
Juice from 1 fresh lime
Handful of cilantro
1 Cubanelle pepper, cleaned and diced
Splash of cider vinegar
3 gloves of garlic, diced finely
Handful of organic dark brown sugar
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Dice and clean the peaches, tomato, pepper and cilantro. Place into a medium bowl. Add the fresh lime juice, cider vinegar, garlic and brown sugar. Mix very well. Top with salt and pepper to your liking.

This peach salsa was the perfect complement to the Alaskan Salmon. Whole Foods has the best fresh fish around. If you have a Whole Foods around you, go and check out their seafood selection. It is incredibly fresh and amazing.

I chose the Basmati rice as a side, because I love the texture of Basmati rice, with the longer grain and the unique flavor of it. Mix in the fresh peach salsa with the rice and the Alaskan salmon and you have one very pleased palate!

Of course, you gotta pair it with a glass of white wine! Now, you have a great dinner and a happy stomach!
