Okay okay, so I know its Thursday, but I promise I wrote this yesterday. Just forgot to take it off draft and hit post. Hmmm, can we say short term memory loss? LOL!
Anyway, This version of WIAW has a few special wishes. First of all, BIG SHOUT OUT to Jen from PEAS and CRAYONS (ya know, the one who puts on WIAW). It was her birthday yesterday so go give her some lovin’ and WISH her a Happy Birthday!
My second special wish is for you to check out Kath’s Solidarity to Japan post. She’s devoting her next few blog posts to Japan in. She encouraged us to join in! Her first post was a dedication to a Japanese dish. She recreated a delicious Japanese Style Stir fry so be sure to go take a look.
I really loved this idea and thought it would be great to make for WIAW! A special way to “express our solidarity with Japan.”
I tried to make it fun and tasty while incorporating some Japanese flare!
Nori Seaweed Wrapped Salmon & Wakame Noodles
How to make the salmon:
-
Thaw out your salmon fillet. Coat with coconut butter and braggs amino acids or GF soy sauce.
-
Take one Nori Seaweed Wrap Paper and carefully wrap it around your salmon. Fold it at the ends. Add a little coconut butter or oil to end so it sticks.
-
Bake at 400F for 12-16 minutes. Depends on the thickness of your salmon. 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
-
Serve with GF Wakame Noodles and diced carrots.
Pretty Easy , eh? Need more ideas? Try out homemade sushi. Its fun and easy!
The hubs can make a pretty mean sushi roll!
My third wish (I get three, right?) would be for you to take time out of your day and pray for Japan. It’s not hard, just a little prayer. They could use a lot right now. Thank you friends!
Alos, here are some more links that are helping out Japan:

No WIWW (what I worked Wednesday) this week but don’t worry, it will be back!)
Ok, so you are about to get some major comment love from me as I try my best to catch up with all my besties! Hope you don't mind! ;)I love your salmon dish! I picked up some nori months ago to try my hand at homemade sushi, but I have yet to find a bamboo mat! Guess I'll have to go online! Grr! (I have no idea why I have such an internet-purchasing phobia!)
Oh Flo, a little goes a long way. Ya know? Even a prayer. You are so generous! I know you've had a rough week so I hope today is restful for you!Cheers, Lindsay ________________________________
That Japanese dish looks great! And Japan is in my thoughts, too. I get my wages this Friday, and even though its not much, I am going to donate 10%. I think everybody should try and give a little something, proportionate to what they can afford.

oh yay! I feel so privileged. Thanks friend. And let me know if you try out the salmon.;) Lindsay ________________________________
Oh my gooooooosssshhh!!! That salmon looks so freaking amazeballs! 🙂 I love sushi, like love love love it; but I'm terrible at making it! I'll have to try your version w/o the rice though; I think it would wrap a lot easier!! PS I finally made my blogroll and guess who's on it:)
sure thing, want me to fedex him to you overnight? 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
You know if I knew how to roll my own sushi, I would save so much money and time craving it!! Can I borrow your husband? Just a suggestion!
oh thanks samantha! So good to know they are covered in prayer. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
praying today – it's so very sad. i love your food inspiration!
I bet you could make some delicious sushi with your raw rice and avocado!! YUM! Lindsay ________________________________
Perfect answer, Lindsay!! Amen!! 🙂
Kalli, you just spoke my very thoughts! I keep thinking how easily this could happen to us, at any moment. Being thankful and living for the moment is key!Cheers to you wise woman! Lindsay ________________________________
I know, I was quite impressed. He knows how to roll them so perfectly. Maybe thats why I married him? hehe, jk! Lindsay ________________________________
yes, prayers are always good!! Do you make sushi? I bet yours would be gorgeous! happy friday Chrysta. Lindsay ________________________________
Ive been watching the devastation in japan and my heart goes out to everyone. Im sending all my prayers to them!!Love the sushi recipe. It looks so tasty and crazy healthy! So fantastic!
What a tasty meal! I am not a sushi fan at all but that salmon & noodles dish rocks!! yes!Kisses from Brussels to you!
Still reeling and devastated by the tragedy in Japan. My heart hurts for their entire nation. I could eat sushi in their honor every day of the year. 🙂
your hubby definitely is a not-so-secret, secret sushi chef!! it's quite a skill getting sushi right, i only attempted it once at it was quite the disaster. xoxo <3
my wish is that we all recover from this tradgegy and that we take something with us like the idea that this could happen to us at any moment in time and to live life with love, compassion, and fun!
Sushi looks great! That is something I do not make often.Praying for everyone in Japan!
oh try it wrapped! it has a nice little crunch to it. Happy Friday friend. Thanks for always checking in on me. The hubs will be back this weekend, yea! that was an older picture. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
I know, it tastes a lot better than it looks. Its a favorite of mine too. The no rice is really really easy, I think thats why we make it so much. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
oh what a great idea. cauliflower rice! youre brilliant missy! and I can't wait for the kimchi recipe. I need to try that! Lindsay
I think praying is HUGE!! So powerful, ya know? THanks for sharing this lauren! Lindsay ________________________________
we totally did the paleo style sushi here, so it was even more simple without the rice! haha. Lindsay ________________________________
you need to get those omegas in this weekend for sure! so glad you to hear how you've been enjoying training too! Lindsay ________________________________
SALMON !!! The best 🙂 I have never had it wrapped.. now I want to haha. I see the lovely pics… is the hubs home?!!? YAY 😀 Happy Friday … I am praying for Japan for sure!
wow, definitely an interesting read. You're not a troll, thank you for sharing this. I wanted to emphasis here the power of prayer or even a "solidarity" for japan, hence Kath posts about making a Japanese dish. The donating is totally up to that person, whether it helps Japan or not only God will know. I don't like that our society has made us question whether or not we need to give to those in distress, kinda sad. But I guess thats the world we live in.If anything, I hope anyone thats reads this blog posts can know and FEEL the power of prayer. Thank you sophia.Cheers, Lindsay ________________________________
Nice post Lindsay- God bless all those in Japan.That salmon looks great too! I need to grill salmon this weekend… its been so long!
Lindsey, I don't mean to be a troll, but I read this article about NOT donating to Japan: http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/03/14/dont-donate-money-to-japan/I don't know what to think!!! So conflicting. 🙁
The hubs can roll Sushi?! Talent, right there 🙂 I've yet to attempt that one, but have always been intrigued by the "Simple" how-to posts on it…haha
I wish I could help out more, but I know prayers do help. It's great to see the blogging community come together to do something.
Love your link love. And I owe you big time for wraping up fish in Nori…SO my cuppa tea.Was that a sushi roll sans rice? Paleo sushi? Did it stick or just fall apart? Either way still good. PS– You can make sushi with cauliflower rice, too. Tell the hubbie!I prayed for Japan and I plan on sharing some delicious Korean recipes soon…first and foremost Kimchi!
I make sushi really poorly…but BOY do I love to eat it. I could probably swing no-rice sushi =DMany prayers and compassion going up for Japan. I love your new blog header !!! Forgot to say it last time.
oh awesome! this looks delicious! Thanks Lizzy. Hey, how did your race go last weekend? Lindsay ________________________________
aww you are so thoughtful!!! sushiiiiii…I swear homemade it's so much better because you can STUFF the Nori full of goodness! My favorite Japanese dish is this stir-fry style recipe (Hinachirashi):http://japanesefood.about.com/od/sushi/r/hinachirashi.htmEnjoy your weekend beautiful friend!!
no thank YOU!! You really put this on my heart and i can't thank you enough. Lindsay ________________________________
Oh thank you so, so much, Lindsay! And I love your idea to make riceless sushi rolls! Everything looks like I could dive right into it! 😀 I'll mention your wonderful dishes in my next post! Thank you again!
oh I know. It hurts my heart. I hope you get to fix a great japanese dish. Let me know if you try out the salmon. I know its your style!;) Lindsay ________________________________
Coconut butter and braggs?! Super creative and sounds amazing. I love salmon and will have to try this recipe out!What has been happening in Japan is awful. My heart goes out to them. 🙁
oh thank you for this Lisa. You are so right! And I am more than confident that you would come up with a japanese dish in a heartbeat! Lindsay ________________________________

My husband and I have made sushi a handful of times before, and it isn't as hard as it seems! We have used smoked salmon in our rolls since we have an abundance of it at our fingertips from living in Alaska!!

I have never tried to make my own sushi, but I definitely want to after reading this! 🙂 Thank you for such a great post! And I am really happy that you posted those links for helping Japan! I hope you have a wonderful St. Patty's Day!
you've never ever tried it? I think you should start today!! Maybe stick with a california roll to begin! If I lived closer, I would bring you some ASAP! so wonderful. Lindsay ________________________________
me too! Lets hop on a plane together! I wish we could. But at least we can lift up Japan in our prayers and spread the word to support. Right? Let me know if billy gives this a whirl. Its really good! And of course I miss you, I always do!:) Lindsay ________________________________
oh girl, its so easy! you gotta try, really!! Lindsay________________________________
I've never had sushi can you believe! The hubs has no fro 😉 I know you mentioned he cut it but I don't think I'd seen a recent picture! Hope your day is going well!Katie 🙂
Hi friend! I was just looking through some photos from Japan and thinking to myself, "WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP??" and then I read this. We're on the same wavelength. The devastation is terrible. I want to get on a plane and go there and help people! Delicious salmon dish – Billy is always looking for new ways to prepare salmon. Miss you a lot!
I know, so much easier than it looks, right?! Lindsay ________________________________
This is a great idea—just taking a moment to be praying, thinking, and expressing support. If everybody does just a little bit there can be such a huge impact! I don't have any japanese dishes to share, but I'll work on that 🙂
I love homemade sushi and make it all the time its so easy and delicious! Thanks for the info on where to donate for Japan and I definitely will keep them in my prayers.
My wish is that I will one day make homemade sushi….I've always thought about it but it scares me! lol, I'll make anything except that!
What a cool idea to do Solidarity to Japan posts. That salmon looks mighty good.. i love fish! Thanks for sharing your 3 wishes 🙂
My wish and prayer is for immediate safety for all those in Japan living near the surrounding area of the nuclear facility.
oh wow, thats is amazing. They totally had God's hand over them. It gives me chills. Thanks for sharing this! Lindsay Cott________________________________
I couldn't agree more, at least we can see the support and all of us coming together! Lindsay ________________________________
girl you are so right, the power of prayer is amazing! THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing so. Hope your days is filled with lots inspiration! Lindsay ________________________________
well now there is even more reason to eat those sea veggies! In honor of Japan. How cool is that? 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
such a great wish! I need to be reminded of that daily.p.s.I want to see those chopsticks! Lindsay ________________________________
yes, it is hard to see. But I think it helps us with reality and that we need to give what we can, like you are doing! I am glad you friends are okay! Lindsay ________________________________
what a great recipe Jessie. I will definitely have to make round too of Japan dishes with that one. And I'll use our same sushi set! Lindsay ________________________________
DOOOOO ITTTTT! you'll love it. So easy too! Please, keep me posted on how it turns out! Lindsay ________________________________
agreed, lots of love and support is refreshing to see! ________________________________
its good to take our focus off our life sometimes and focus on what we might need to be praying for. And to know that we are needed for that is just priceless. But Janae, I do adore you! I am also praying for you and this minor set back. PLEASE PLEASE keep me posted, okay?Hugs, Lindsay ________________________________
okay, I have a challenge for you then. How about green sushi rolls?! You could use everything green. avocado, cucumber, and then throw in a little color "kristina" style. Thoughts? Lindsay ________________________________
Love your wishes….thank you for posting those links….that is my next stop. Don't worry I have short term memory too:) YOUR SUSHI LOOKS AMAZING and salmon with noodles….HEAVEN!!! Thank you for being so sweet to me….I ADORE YOU!!!!
oh thank you Sable. I need to add this to the list! what a great cause! Lindsay ________________________________
NICE sushi rolls!! I have thought about making them without rice, but always thought it too intimidating (wow, typing that out REALLY doesn't sound like me!!) I have been enjoying Kath's Solidarity to Japan posts, too… and have been thinking about what I can post. sushi is all I came up with… 🙂
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! so so much! <3 By the time the hubs got home (around 10pm!) last night I felt sooooo much better! <3 I love the idea of riceless sushi rolls Lindsay! I will totally be trying this next time! I have at least 3 posts on p&c about sushi so i'm kiiiind of obsessed! =)Thanks again love!xoXOxoJenn @ Peas & Crayons
What a great idea. What happened in Japan is so sad and it's nice to see what everyone is doing to help out.
Thanks for the links. While I hate when natural disasters occur, I am always encouraged by the outpouring of love and support that results.
SO heartbreaking about Japan. It's hitting home in a way, my parents' business' is the American sector of a Japanese company. In a strange twist of fate, all of the Japanese guys were here in the states when everything happened. Makes me just shudder, you know?
Next Thursday Fitnessista (of Fitnessista.com) is having a gently-used lululemon raffle with all proceeds going to the Red Cross 🙂 I am definitely checking out those three fundraisers!What a great community we have, full of creative people putting their minds to good use.
i am going to be making this recipe FOR SURE!!! yeast-free and dairy free! 🙂 YAYYYY!!!!! although i have never made sushi before, this should be interesting :)absolutely heartbroken about what's happening in japan. sending them my thoughts and prayers.
So random, but we have the EXACT same chopsticks set…small world : ) I love to make green tea salmon. Basically you just cook the salmon, cook rice, steep green tea and soak wakame flakes. Put rice in a bowl with salmon and wakame on top and then pour green tea over. Garnish with wasabi and shoyu (for you GFer's – tamari)… easy and delish. Thanks for the links to help Japan!
I love all the efforts going to help Japan during this time. My friends stationed out there are helping with the relief by helping clean. It's so sad to see their pictures on FB. Though first and foremost I'm glad they are ok. I'm probably going to donate to ARC, since I have the funds right now.
I love your box with the chopsticks. I have lots of them (even ones my dad painted for us as kids) but no box or set like that. Very cool. It's so crushing to see such destruction and loss of life. Definitely makes you appreciate all that you have. My wish would be that people remember to appreciate what they have each and every day.

I have been praying every day for Japan…nothing can beat the power of prayer:) And I LOVE reading about the things people are doing!! Angela's raffle has raised THOUSANDS and everyone's efforts are so inspiring!!Enjoy your day Lovely Lindsay!!
I know, its hard not to watch. Just keep them in your prayers! Hope your week is giong well Sarena. Keep me updated on all your doctor visits/results too! Lindsay ________________________________
thanks Matt. I bet you'd whip up a mean japanese dish! Lindsay________________________________
Dinner looks delicious. I am already watching the news on Japan this morning and really it is just beyond heartbreaking. I hope you have a great day Lindsay.
