Ayesha Cox's Salmon

Ayesha Cox is a very beautiful model and a friend of a friend of our son’s who is also a very beautiful model, Dominque Claire X   You can actually see Dominque on a billboard in Paris near the Bateau Mouche docks and also in many magazines.

Anyway, when I saw the photos of Ayesha Cox’s salmon on Facebook, I wanted to make it. I asked Dominque about it and she gave me the list of ingredients.   I think they must be beautiful because they know how to eat!

One of the ingredients mentioned was maple syrup but I didn’t have any so I substituted with honey.   I also added dried bird’s tongue chillies instead of the fresh and a little sesame oil.  If you want the original, which really looks worth having, you could probably contact Ayesha through Facebook.

I think the inspiration for this recipe was Thai because I know that Ayesha and Dominque did some photo shoots in Thailand.  Correct me if I’m wrong, girls but when I poured the marinade on, the mixture gave off a Thai-like aroma.   Fa-bu-lous!

There’s a very nice Chinese man in the market every Monday who comes with food made by his wife.   I bought some vegetable noodles from him that were very good and that satisfied our noodle craving.
