Roasted Salmon

Roasted Salmon - June 18th, 2012

A nice light supper tonight. Was really easy to make.

Roasted Salmon - page 107

"The American Heart Association recommends that we eat at least two servings of fish per week. Meeting that recommendation is a breeze with this delicious roasted salmon recipe - you'll have perfectly baked fish every time you make it."

This was one of those classically easy recipes. You're not hiding the salmon, but letting its own flavour really shine. Simply enhancing the salmon with olive oil and lemon juice. Roasting at a high temperature creates this meal very quickly, but leaves you with perfectly moist fish that melts in your mouth. Sprinkled with freshly chopped herbs right before served. Very fresh, very good!

I decided to make a salad to go with the fish. It was a good pairing. Just a simple salad of baby romaine, cherry tomatoes, orange peppers, red onion, and fresh mozzarella. We bought a new salad dressing from the Superstore the other day and tried it out tonight. Blue Menu - Pineapple Curry Dressing from President's Choice. It was a really nice light dressing.

Light salmon, Light Salad, Light Dressing...I guess the theme tonight was "Light".
Light but very satisfying.

Tomorrow I'll be making the Icebox Cookies. Quite excited to see how these turn out. I'll post to let you know. If you're really interested and are going to be at the IWK on Wednesday morning, come by the gallery and you can try them for yourself. Our Department's bake sale is by donation and all monies raised will be going towards buying gifts for a needy family this Christmas.
