Ronda from~ The Family Table, brings us "Cooking Salmon!"

Good Morning SkyMoms,


Do you want an easy tip for a meal idea this week to get you out of a rut of cooking the same things over and over?....Well,....Here is my super quick, go to meal when I have no time to cook. I can have it on the table in about fifteen minutes flat, even faster if I prep everything before I leave for school. Salmon, full of those wonderful omega-3 fats, is a powerhouse food that is tasty and quick to make.  I always make an extra fillet or two so that we can have a quick lunch the next day. I have two ways that I like to make it; both are good for picky non-fish eaters!

Roasted Salmon Fillet with BBQ Sauce

1 or more pieces of salmon, roughly the same size (with skin or without)

Lemon pepper

BBQ sauce

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with tin foil.  Spray sheet generously with cooking spray. Add salmon and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Give another small spray of cooking spray. Roast for about 5 minutes and remove from oven and drizzle with bbq sauce. Return to oven until roast until fish cooked to desired level (usually just a few more minutes). Refrigerate left over fillets and serve cold over mixed green salad the next day.

Serve over brown rice (either cooked in the rice maker or frozen from whole foods) with simmered bok choy on the side. Have more time? This is also great served with a nice garlic mashed potato and roasted brussel sprouts! Yum!!!

Bok Choy

1 small Bok Choy per person, washed and cut in half

Pan to fit Bok Choy, cut side down

Chicken broth to cover bottom of pan.

Simmer until just tender, watch closely so they don’t over-cook.

Roasted Lemon Salmon

1 or more pieces of salmon, roughly the same size (with skin or without)

Fresh lemon slices

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Honey

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with tin foil.  Spray sheet generously with cooking spray. Add salmon, squeeze lemon and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle just a bit of honey. Give fillets another quick spray and roast until fish cooked to desired level, about 10 minutes depending on size.

Serve with brown rice and roasted veggie of choice.

While this dinner is nothing fancy, it sure tastes GREAT! 

Happy Cooking SkyMoms!!!
