tasty tuesday's

hello all!

have you all been waiting with bated breath for my new recipe?

i gave you quite the tease in my last post.

so being on this health kick has been a lot of fun in the kitchen.

i've cooked up three really healthy and really yummy recipes so far and i can't wait to share them with you!

up first is the best salmon ever.

i like salmon, but i've never like loved salmon, ya know?

but man, oh man, does this recipe make me LOVE salmon!

and of course...i got the recipe off of pinterest. duh.

but it's originally from a blog, asweetpeachef.com

her name is lacey and she has lots of good looking recipes.

you can follow along here or there, it'll all be the same!

Pan Roasted Salmon

what you need:

4, 6oz salmon fillets skinned

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 dry mustard

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

what you do:

preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

combine brown sugar, salt & pepper and all of the spices in a small bowl.

rub this mixture into the top side of the salmon (the original non-skin side)

i really packed it on here. would let it soak it up a bit, then add a bit more on. yum.

sear the fillets in your oil rub side DOWN.

it needs to be in a oven safe pan (you will transfer it from the stove to the oven) and sear it on high heat.

when the seared side is browned and no longer "sticks" to the pan (about 2 or so minutes) flip them over and transfer the whole pan right into the oven.

don't put the salmon in a different pan! just put the whole darn thing in there!

roast the fillets until they flake easily about 5-6 minutes.

(mine was more like 10 minutes, but my oven is SUPER old so just keep an eye on it!)

voila! you're done!

easy, fast, healthy meal.

the spices are the secret i think.

it's sweet with just enough of a kick too.

delish.

i made this with asparagus and it was delightful.

the nutrition facts come up to about these figures per serving.

(keep in mind not all the rub/spices were used 

and then not all of them per fillet...get it?)
