I don't cook most of the time - especially since my husband likes to buy and make nuke-able things, and my daughter sometimes likes to cook. But we went shopping on Thursday, and we bought a big piece of salmon, which I, my daughter and my son like (and my husband doesn't, but I had numbers on my side), and my daughter has a wonderfully easy recipe for - and then we forgot to cook it for two nights, and Jess is away for the weekend, and that fish had to be cooked! So I was stuck with the job - and it turned out to be just as easy as she said it was.
Ingredients: a lovely big piece of fresh salmon, teriyaki ginger glaze (I use this a lot for chicken, so I always have some), topped with thinly sliced lemon (I almost always have one on hand, or I can steal one from the neighbor's tree), and pickled jalapeño (again, something that I usually have on hand), cooked in a foil pouch at 375 for 20-25 min; steamed fresh green beans (bought pre-cleaned, nuked in a steamer bag for 3.5 min, topped with butter) and creme fraiche mashed potatoes from Costco (warmed up leftovers of premade creamy deliciousness). The whole meal took 30 min to prepare, half of it with me not even being in the room.
Plated:
For the newbies - that is how much I can eat in once sitting, at nearly 12 years out - in fact, I took a break for about 10 minutes after I ate about 2/3, then finished the rest (including most of a can of diet soda). I think that piece of fish was about 5 oz (it was pretty thick) which is 34 g of protein.
