Salmon and Veggies

October 11, 2022 No Comments

I know it’s been a while since I did a post from our Friday Fixins, but we have been cleaning up our Fort Myers house and our neighborhood for the past two weeks due to Hurricane Ian. Therefore, today’s post is a delicious recipe. Even as we clean up, we try to stick to our nutrition plan. Tonight, we had wild salmon from Costco, roasted broccoli, and zucchini noodles with butter and parmesan cheese. We washed it down with one of our wedding wines, Amici. Tasty!

We preheat our oven to 400 degrees. We use cookie sheets for both the fish and veggies. We line the baking sheets with aluminum foil and parchment paper for easier cleanup. We use olive oil or avocado oil spray and Nature’s Seasons on everything!

Once the sheets are lined, we wash the broccoli and chop it up into a bowl. We spray with oil and season. We mix it up, spray it again and season it again. Do this a few times until you find the flavor you like. Then spread it on a lined baking sheet and put it in the oven. Set timer for 15 minutes.

Next, wash the fish. We use a paper towel to dry. Then put it on a baking sheet. Spray the top and season with a little bit of butter, a couple of pinches of garlic, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese if you like.

When the timer goes off, stir up the broccoli and put the fish in the oven. Set timer for 15 minutes.

When there are about 7 minutes left on the time, microwave your frozen zucchini noodles in the bag. Once done, drain and season with salt and pepper. We added a bit of butter and parmesan cheese to ours.

Once the final timer goes off, scrape off the bottom skin of the salmon if you prefer. Pile up your veggies high and eat up!! Enjoy!

Tuna Steak and Veggies

August 21, 2020 No Comments

My husband seasoned Ahi tuna steaks with Bragg Liquid Aminos (a soy sauce alternative), a hint of ginger, a dash of Himalayan sea salt, and ground pepper. Like with any fresh fish, you want to rinse and pat dry with a paper towel prior to seasoning. He cooked them on the grill at about 500 degrees for two minutes each side on a grill mat(see below). They were perfect! While a bag of cauliflower rice was cooking in the microwave, I sautéed about 10 stalks of asparagus, half a red pepper, a small sweet onion, and half a small head of cabbage in a large frying pan. I seasoned it with a touch of olive oil, Nature’s Seasons, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, and a touch of Himalayan sea salt. I mixed the rice and veggies together, and it was delicious, too! Great easy meal! Enjoy!
