I found my favorite Nora Ephron quote, as published in Gourmet, August, 2009: "I don't think any day is worth living without thinking about what you're going to eat next at all time". Couldn't this be more true? Especially when your significant other asks you "what's for dinner tonight?", well, now you have it planned, haven't you? Smart jelly bean you are :)
This Salmon recipe comes from Real Simple, my favorite magazine. It has saved my life more often than not. I changed it slightly, but I have included a link to the original recipe. It is super easy, perfect for a weeknight- and with Salmon at $17 for almost 2 lbs, you can cook this dinner and have lunch the next day too :)
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 lb green beans
2 cups diced mini-bell peppers
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/4 lbs of salmon filler (Costco has great selection for awesome prices)
1/4 cup BBQ sauce ( or more, if you love BBQ sauce like I do)
Directions
Place a rack on the very top of your oven, at the highest possible spot. Heat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. While it is heating, heat up a medium skillet in medium-high heat, drizzle the olive oil, and heat up the peppers and tomatoes, cooking for 5 minutes. Add the green beans and saute for another 10 minutes, until the beans are browned on either side.
Cut the salmon into 4 to 5 equal pieces ( about 6 oz each). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, set the fillets on the sheet equally apart from one another, and brush the fillets with plenty of BBQ sauce. Bake until cooked, about 15 minutes.
Serve the salmon with the green beans. We had two pieces leftover for lunches.
Tomorrow, I will post a mean pasta dish that involves no meat :)
