Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Cook the salmon fillets (2 pieces at a time), until they're golden and just done, 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. About 2 minutes before the salmon is done, add the garlic slices to the oil to flavor the fish. (If the fillets are thick, cover and cook a few minutes longer.) Remove the salmon and garlic and drain on paper towels.
- Combine the cucumber with the basil in a small bowl. Place a small amount of the cucumber mixture on individual plates. Arrange the salmon fillet on top and garnish with the cucumber mixture and sprinkle a few pieces of the cooked garlic on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the Ginger-Lime Sauce, top with peanuts and serve immediately.
- Combine the garlic, chiles, sugar, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, and water in a small bowl and stir well. Let the flavors develop by setting the sauce aside for 30 minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP
This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Steps:
- Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
- As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
- Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.
SAUTEED RED SNAPPER WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
This is one of many Cooking Light recipes that I've found to be easy, healthy and very tasty. You can easily substitute halibut or tilapia for the snapper. I served it with Simple Thai Coconut Rice and it was delicious!

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
- Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
- While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
- Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
- Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid yams that are soft or have any bruises or cuts.
- Peel and cut the yams properly: Use a sharp knife to peel the yams, then cut them into 1-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the yams, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the yams from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a thin layer of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan until it coats the entire surface, then remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
- Cook the yams until they are tender: Sauté the yams over medium-high heat until they are tender, about 10 minutes. You can test the yams by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the yams are done.
- Add the ginger and lime at the end: Add the ginger and lime juice to the yams at the end of the cooking time. This will help preserve the flavor of the ginger and lime.
Conclusion:
Sautéed yam with ginger and lime is a healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The yams are tender and flavorful, and the ginger and lime add a bright, refreshing flavor. This dish is a great way to add more vegetables to your diet and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
