Salmon with Tomato Corn Salsa ⏲️
I came across this recipe years ago. I love it because it is delicious and ridiculously easy to make.
Pro tip: swap out the canned water-packed corn with Mexicali corn if available.
Ingredients
- 2 (6 ounce) salmon steaks
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
- 1/2 cup canned water-packed corn, drained
- 3 scallions, green parts only, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash of Tabasco sauce or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve at room temperature alongside salmon.
- Preheat the boiler.
- Cover the broiler pan with foil and lightly grease it with butter or vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Place the steaks in the ban and broil for 5 minutes. Turn the steaks carefully and broil for 4 to 5 more minutes, or until the fish is firm to the touch but still springy and slightly translucent in the center.
- Serve immediately topped with tomato corn salsa.

You can’t see me, but I’m punching my first in the air. I just unlocked a nerd achievement. I can now use my Sennheiser mic and Duet box as an input device, my AirPodcast as an output device, and record our Dark Heresy games from Discord. Good on me!

I’ve started live streaming on Instagram about projects I’m working on and tangentially related thoughts, and I must admit, it’s… fun. And interesting. I’m a podcast/radio deejay guy. Video is not my thing. But I’m having a blast talking about things I’m enthusiastic about.

Man, let me tell you, today was a hell of a productive day! I mean, I was on fire, like a goddamn creative tornado tearing through everything in its path. I grabbed my trusty storyboard and mind mapping tools, and I dived headfirst into the world of Project Boris. I scribbled down notes like a madman possessed, capturing every thought that popped into my twisted mind.
I didn’t stop there. I took a little detour to the Vikings vs. Samurai website, giving it a serious makeover. I mean, we’re talking an upgrade of epic proportions. I spruced that bad boy up, making it shine like a diamond in the rough. And to top it all off, I added a photo release form, editable and ready to roll. You know, just covering all the bases, making sure everything’s in order.
When I finally stepped back and surveyed my work, I couldn’t help but give myself a pat on the back. Not too shabby, my friend. Not too shabby at all.
Researching Project Boris means watching a lot of base climbing videos for research. It sounds like fun, but it’s pretty nerve-wracking. I have to take breaks because I have physical reactions to the videos. My gut wrenches, and the soles of my feet sweat.
Watching Star Trek V: The Final Frontier I decided that the world needs a Star Trek series starring Michael Keaton and Terry Crews as Klingons.
Today I went to what I believe was a vegan farmers market with various food trucks. I was impressed with the offerings. I moved the pierogis, the pizza was great, and the chicken and waffles were delicious. Except it was made with fava beans. Whatever. Still delicious.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Raeon by Subheim and Glitches Grew by Xenomorph Jazz Ensemble.🎵
Subheim is always sublime. Xenomorph Jazz Ensemble band name is cheeky and deceptive. Fun metal.

I picked up Once Upon A Time in the West because it’s $4.95 on Apple. The movie was shot in Techniscope. This derived a 2.35:1 aspect ratio while shooting with spherical lenses. This avoided the distortion created by anamorphic lenses during certain camera moves, as well as extreme close-ups. It’s amazing how epic and alive everything looks.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Food for Thought by Che Noir and Wilds by The Soundcarriers.🎵
Che Noir was raw, genuine and strong enough to be vulnerable. The Soundcarriers were fun and reminiscent of Stereolab.

Every morning I listen to two albums. Today I listened to Subject to Change by Kelsea Ballerini and Careening by Hammered Hulls.🎵
Country pop is not one of my goto genres, but I like to keep an open mind. A good album is a good album. This album isn’t for me, which is fine. Within seconds of hearing Careening’s “Boilermaker’s Notch,” I thought, this is comfortably familiar. I went to the band’s Bandcamp page; sure enough, they’re a Discord band.
