This is by far one of my new favorites! Not-So-Basic Salmon, with Slouched Mushroom Spinach salad! Yummy!

Ingredients

Filet of Salmon

Coconut oil ( It’s AMAZING for cooking at high temperatures)

Salt & Peppa

Fresh Spinach

Mushrooms

Lemons

Ground Chili Peppers

Fennel Seeds (You can also use Ground Fennel)

How To

Preheat your oven to 375.

With CLEAN hands, rub salt and pepper into the salmon. Also rub some of the coconut oil on it too. All over it, skin, everything.

In a heated pan or gill, pour some olive oil on it. Place the fillets in the pan, or grill SKIN side down!

Let it sit for about 3 minutes. You will hear the skin popping. Lift the sides to make sure that it isn’t sticking. DO NOT FLIP IT!

Once it starts to change color from orange to pink, move it to the oven!

Keep it in there for about 3 minutes. Once those 3 minutes are up, switch your oven from back to broil. Turning it to broil gives it more texture!

Sit back and keep an eye on it. Wait until it is colored on thetop. 

Take it out of the oven and enjoy!

Now for the Slouched Mushroom Spinach salad,

Wipe any dirt that might be on your mushrooms, and slice them up!

Into a bowl add 1 full lemons worth of juice, some Olive Oil. 1 TBS of ground chili peppers, and 1 TBS of Fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper. 

Let them sit for about 20 minutes or so.

Add to the cleaned Spinach and enjoy!

The Slouched Muschrooms taste a bit like, italian sausage because of the fennel and the spicyness of the chilies!

Dijon Brussels Sprouts

These bad boys are SO good. Hot or cold. 

Preheat your oven to 350.

Slice them in half, and remove any loose leafs.

Place them in a cooking tray, drizzle Olive oil on them and sprinkle salt and pepper on them.

Throw em in the oven for 40-45 min.

2TBS of Dijon Mustard into a bowl, add the cooked Brussels Sprouts and toss.

Tada! Delish! 

This is a bit of sweet & salty goodness.

Vegetarian Fajitas! I have a thing for having very VERY colorful foods! I think it adds to the whole experience of it!

1 Packet of Fajita Mix

2 TBS of EVOO

Throw it all together. Get yummy deliciousness! 

I think that I will also start adding in foods that I have made throughout my days! I made it for just me, so my recipe is for 1 serving! 

Ingredients:

1 Fillet of Salmon (as for the longer piece rather than a thick one!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

Garlic

Reduced Fat Cream Cheese 

Spinach

Breadcrumbs

Parmesan Cheese

Mozzarella Cheese

How To:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Take a pan, put a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in it. Mince up some Garlic and throw it in the pan. Let it simmer. Once you can smell the garlic, throw in a handful of spinach. Let it wilt. Take it off the heat. Let it cool for a bit. I used some softened cream cheese (reduced fat of course!) and added the spinach to it. Mix it up so its a pretty green and white color lookin thing. Throw it in the fridge and let it chill.
Once chilled, get your salmon fillet out. ( I asked the guy at my grocery store to give me a longer piece of salmon, instead of a thick fat piece.) I laid it out, put some of my cream cheese/spinach mix in the middle of it, and kinda rolled the salmon up around it. Season with Salt and pepper (Both sides!)

Took some EVOO, and bread crumbs into two bowls. ( I added a few sprinkles, I will guess 2 TBS, of parmesan cheese to my breadcrumbs! yum!) Take the now salmon with the cream cheese and dip it in the EVOO, then breadcrumbs, and turn it over and do the same. So the top and bottom are now, coated in bread crumbs ( that way you get some crunch) Yummm

Take a cookie tray or whatever you have, put some EVOO down, so it wont stick, and put the fillet on it. 

12 min in the oven. Make sure its cooked all the way. ( mine wasn’t so i flipped it, and put it back in for 4 min. It was prefect!)

I put a dash of shredded mozzarella cheese on top just to make it look pretty in the picture! :P
