During the week, I typically make one meat {either chicken or fish} dish + steam a bunch of veges and eat the same thing every day for lunch + dinner. It does get repetitive but I have trained myself for a year to eat the same thing over and over again {it’s not so bad!}. The reason why I eat the same thing repetitively because 1// I was training for awhile with Fit180 and part of my healthy lifestyle plan was that I had to eat better, healthier foods so that meant, I had to cook most of my meals. I cooked in bulk so that I only had to do most of the prep and cleaning only once a week 2// I like to eat healthier during the week and to do that, I have to plan out my meals and 3// I’m always on the go so I don’t have a lot of time to cook often. If I give myself a slight chance to think about what I want to eat for lunch/dinner, that’s when I get side tracked and start eating really bad food like fast food {which is something I try to stay away from!}.
Well friends, I would like to share this delicious baked salmon recipe! It’s sooo easy + quick to make!
INGREDIENTS
- 4-6 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon pure honey
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of chopped shallots {there’s really no limit here!}
- 1/8 teaspoon himalayan pink salt {or regular salt}
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon & pepper seasoning
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of chopped chive {optional}
PREP + COOK
1// Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2// Chop the shallots {and chive} and add all the ingredients in a bowl. Remember to wash and pat the salmon steaks dry. Add the salmon steaks to the glaze and make sure the glaze gets on all parts of the salmon steaks. Save the remaining glaze for later.
3// Set the salmon steaks on a baking tray
4// Once the oven reaches 400 degrees, start baking one side of the salmon steak for 10-12 minutes
5// Then flip the salmon steak, add the remaining glaze and cook the other side for another 10-12 minutes
The salmon is considered cook when the fish is flakey!
Accompany the baked salmon with a salad + steamed veges! And you’ve got yourself an awesome, healthy + delicious meal! Told you it was easy!
