BANG BANG SALMON BITES

Ingredients:

For the Salmon Bites:
1½ pounds salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

For the Bang Bang Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1⃣ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2⃣ In a large bowl, combine salmon pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3⃣ Arrange seasoned salmon bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
4⃣ While salmon bakes, prepare the Bang Bang sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
5⃣ Once salmon is done, remove from oven and drizzle Bang Bang sauce generously over the salmon bites.
6⃣ Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

South Korean scientists have unveiled a solar-powered floating panel that simultaneously breaks down plastic waste in water and generates clean hydrogen gas—a dual innovation for fighting pollution and creating green energy.

This device uses a hydrogel-embedded photocatalyst that not only floats efficiently on water surfaces but also absorbs sunlight with high efficiency.

When exposed to sunlight, it breaks down common plastics like PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and releases hydrogen gas, a clean and renewable fuel.

In field trials, a 1 m² prototype ran continuously for over 40 days in both freshwater and seawater, maintaining long-term stability.

The research team envisions scaling the system up to 10–100 m² panels for cost-effective deployment—cleaning up plastic waste while producing sustainable hydrogen energy.

This breakthrough marks a significant step toward dual-action environmental tech, targeting both plastic pollution and clean energy production in one floating solution.

Every year, around June 20th or 21st, the Northern Hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year—the Summer Solstice. On this special day, the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, and we enjoy the most daylight of the entire year.

But here’s where it gets fascinating:

Ancient Celebrations Across the Globe
Long before smartphones and calendars, ancient civilizations paid close attention to the Sun’s movements. The Summer Solstice was seen as a spiritual event, often associated with fertility, harvests, and rebirth.

At Stonehenge in England, the rising Sun aligns perfectly with the Heel Stone—a mysterious monument built over 4,000 years ago.

In Scandinavia, people celebrate Midsummer by lighting bonfires and dancing around maypoles, celebrating light, love, and life.

In Japan, the solstice is tied to ancient Shinto traditions that honor the Sun goddess Amaterasu.

What Really Happens in the Sky?
The Summer Solstice occurs when the Earth’s axial tilt (about 23.5 degrees) leans most directly toward the Sun, giving the Northern Hemisphere maximum exposure. That’s why in places like Iceland, the Sun barely sets at all—locals experience the magical “Midnight Sun.”

Fun Fact
Even though it’s the longest day of the year, it’s not usually the hottest. Why? Because the oceans and land take time to absorb the Sun’s energy, meaning the real summer heat lags behind—often peaking in July or August!
