Do you love pinning recipes, but when it's time to actually cook or bake something you take one look at that recipe and get overwhelmed or discouraged?? YES, that is me! So for 2015 I will not be scared to try new recipes, what about you??
So tonight I decided I would fix salmon. My husband loves salmon, as do I; but I have never prepared it at home. So I started with an easy recipe and gave it a try. This particular recipe is on many websites and blogs, so I'm not claiming this as my own...just not going to list the half dozen places I found it. Asparagus was another veggie that I had never prepared at home either...so I was skeptical. As I was preparing it, I grabbed my camera to show YOU how easy it can be!
So I grabbed some frozen skinless salmon fillets, asparagus and lemons...the rest I had at home.
Rinsed, dried and chopped the asparagus and lined a bundle on a square of foil. Next time I will do more because Josh and Mason liked it!
Topped the apparatus with the frozen salmon fillet and seasoned it with sea salt, pepper and a little garlic salt. Slapped a square of butter and a slice of lemon on top! I folded up the foil to make a little boat and the tops contained the heat. I baked it at 475 for 25 minutes and could hear the butter bubbling when I pulled it out...smelled so good! I then decided to turn the broiler on and open the foil up to add a little heat to the very top!!
And our final product was yummy...I had a scoop of mashed potatoes and some roasted parm broccoli. My husband loved it. Mason had the same but I used tilapia for him. He wasn't a fan of the lemon, though. My husband said he was so surprised that he felt so full and ate so little compared to our frozen pizza/hamburger helper type nights...hahaha! Good, healthy food will fill you up and keep you full longer!!!
Sorry my pictures are the best quality....busy school night means no fancy editing. hahaha!
