Salmon over broccoli or asparagus wrapped in foil

A really quick, easy prep weekday dinner with lots of flavor

Remove salmon from package and rinse. Let it dry a little and prepare to slice. Slice the salmon into fillets about 3-4 inches wide

Rinse desired vegetables. I used broccoli and asparagus for this recipe 

Take broccoli crowns and place them on a piece of foil. The foil can be 15x12(inches) Sprinkle the vegetables with olive oil and sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder .

(broccoli)

Take your fillet and lay it directly over the vegetables. Add additional seasoning to the fillet.

(Asparagus)

I used sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder for both layers of my seasoning.  Cut a fresh lemon into 6 slices. Place 2 slice on each fillet. Top the lemon slices with dill, sprinkling lightly.

 

Wrap the fish and vegetables into the foil and place on a flat cookie sheet. Make sure no air can get to the fish. Ensure foil is completely covering everything. Preheat oven to 400. Cook for 45 minutes 

Once your fish is cooked thoroughly, remove lemons and Enjoy!  

Country Fried Potatoes

Although you only see 2 potatoes, I used 3 med sized potatoes 

Skin them and slice them into smaller pieces. Heat a skillet up on a med to high fire. Add 1/4 cup of cooking oil, coconut oil or olive oil to the skillet. Wait for the oil to get hot before you place the potatoes in the skillet.  

1/4 white onion

1/4 red onion

1/4 yellow bell pepper

1/4 green bell pepper

Add to skillet once the potatoes have been added 

1 pinch of black salt 

1 teaspoon of Pappy's

1/2 teaspoon of six pepper blend

1/2 teaspoon of rosemary garlic

1 teaspoon of creole seasoning

Stir all ingredients and add 1 tablespoon of water and let simmer. Once the water is absorbed into the potatoes the potatoes will begin to stick to the skillet, continue to stir until some of the potatoes get a little brown to them .

Once the desired amount of brown is reached, serve immediately and Enjoy!  

Salsa

 1 med size tomato

4 Roma tomatoes

1/3 red onion

4 gloves of peeled garlic

1 banana pepper

 I put all of the above ingredients in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil. I drizzled olive oil over the vegetables and placed them in my broiler on high for 20  minutes. The goal is to roast the vegetables to where the skin turns a little black and they soften.  Once the vegetables are somewhat blacken place all items in a food processer and pulse.

Add 1/2 bunch of cilantro

1 tablespoon of Cumin

1 teaspoon of sea salt

1.5 teaspoon of garlic powder

Blend in the seasoning until the vegetables reached desired consistency.

Place in a bowl or as you can see I used a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for a few hours to cool down and serve with chips. Enjoy!
