Salmon with Rosemary Potatoes

Happy Monday! I wanted to share what we cooked for dinner on Saturday. For those of you following the calendar, I did not cook yesterday because it was too beautiful of a day and we barbecued at the lake instead :) I will post yesterday's recipe later today.


On Saturday we ate this amazing recipe, so easy to make ( 30 minutes or less), and easy to clean (you only use one pot) :) and if you never made these rosemary potatoes, you will be making them more often, as a side dish, as they are easy to make and great to eat :) I modified this recipe from the Real Simple Cookbook, Meals Made Easy. I highly recommend this book, as I have done a few really easy recipes from it. Enjoy!

Ingredients
3 lbs of red potatoes, halved ( wash them prior, as you will eat them with skins)
4 tbsp of Olive Oil
1 tsp of salt
5 sprigs of fresh rosemary herb
1 lemon
1 lb Salmon Fillet, with skin and scales if applicable ( Winco sells these prepackaged and ready to go)


Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Halve the potatoes, drizzle a 9" pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil, and season the potatoes with rosemary, salt and pepper. Roast them for 30 minutes. In the meantime, cut up the salmon into 3 or 4 equal pieces. It is important to make the portions smaller, as you will be placing them in the same pan that the potatoes are currently roasting. After 30 minutes of roasting, move the potatoes to the side, add remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil, and place salmon fillets in the middle. Cover each with a sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon. Roast for additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it cool for 2 minutes and serve. Yummy!!

I should also mention that this is a pretty health recipe, as the salmon is pretty much just cooked on heat, no additional ingredients needed.



I should mention that it was the perfect night to cook this recipe as I had spent the better part of the afternoon picking strawberries and making strawberry jam. Will see if we use jam in one upcoming recipe, for ideas, let me know :)

Later tonight, I will post the Roasted Peppers fettuccine recipe :)
