Apr 08, 2015 I often make it for lunch when I’m having people over – I just make one enormous sandwich in a ciabatta baguette, and cut it into slices. It’s great for a baby/wedding shower, or to bring to a potluck picnic. I just love buttery, perfectly seared salmon (Psst. if you love this, you must also try my Cajun Honey Butter Salmon recipe). Especially with such fresh, spring-y toppings. I just realized this post comes hot on the heels of my Blackened Fish Sandwiches with Spicy Corn and Cabbage Slaw – I guess I’m just really into fish on bread right now! Now I’m going to veer completely off topic and share what I consider to be a public service announcement. Anybody out there get super-frequent headaches? (I’m vigourously waving my hand). For YEARS, I was getting throbbing headaches at least several times a week. I’d pop tylenol or advil and be ok, but I didn’t like taking painkillers so frequently – however the headaches were too disruptive to go untreated. I tried everything from massage to physiotherapy to new glasses to meditation (in case it was stress) to giving up caffeine to orthodontic treatments to allergy medications… you name it, I tried it. I finally figured out it was… EYE STRAIN. Not at all related to my glasses prescription, but simply related to reading off of screens (computer, phone iPad). And I totally fixed the problem with this insanely simple 20-20-20 rule. It works like this: every 20 minutes, you look away from the screen and focus your eyes on things 20+ feet away (I just focus on several points outside my window) for 20 seconds. I just keep this app open in a separate window (with “auto break” on) to remind me. I discovered it in January, gave it a try, and have had literally ONE headache since then. I just want to shout it from the rooftops, because I know there are so many others out there who share my (now eliminated) pain. If you’re a frequent headache sufferer, give it a try!
